[Machine] A masked man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and said, "What do you think if I were to embrace Islam? Would it be good for me?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." The man then declared his faith by saying, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." He then asked the Prophet ﷺ , "What do you think if I were to join the fight against the enemy, fighting until I am killed, without praying any prayer except for bearing witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." The man then took part in the battle, fought bravely and was eventually killed. The companions praised his actions, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "He did little, but will receive great rewards." Abu Abdullah Al-Ruhayyis from the people of Bajdah was a trustworthy narrator, as was Ali ibn Ayyash al-Himsi.  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مُقَنَّعٌ فِي الْحَدِيدِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ أَكَانَ خَيْرًا لِي؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَشَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ «أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنِّي حَمَلْتُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَقَاتَلْتُ حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ أَكَانَ خَيْرًا لِي وَلَمْ أُصَلِّ صَلَاةً غَيْرَ أَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَحَمَلَ فَضَارَبَ فَقَتَلَ وَقُتِلَ ثُمَّ تَعَاوَرُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقُتِلَ» فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عَمِلَ يَسِيرًا وَأُجِرَ كَثِيرًا» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ «رَقِّيٌّ جَزَرِيٌّ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَاجِدَاءَ ثِقَةٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حِمْصِيٌّ ثِقَةٌ»
