[Machine] Yazid ibn Shajarah, who was known for his honesty in both words and actions, narrated the following: He said, "We delivered a sermon and said, 'O people, remember the blessings of Allah upon you. How beautiful are His blessings upon you! You can see them in the green, yellow, and red colors, as well as in the silk clothing and other goods.' He used to say, 'When people line up for prayer and also line up for battle, the gates of heaven, the gates of paradise, and the gates of hell are opened. The fair-eyed maidens adorn themselves and eagerly look forward. When a man advances, we say, 'O Allah, grant him victory,' and when he retreats, we hide from him and say, 'O Allah, forgive him.' So, break the faces of the enemy as an offering to Allah, my father and mother, and do not dishonor the fair-eyed maidens. For with the first drop of his blood, all his sins are forgiven, and two maidens from paradise descend upon him to wipe the dust off his face. They say, 'How fortunate you are!' He says, 'How fortunate you are!' Then he is dressed in a hundred garments, not made from the fabric of human beings, but made from the plants of paradise. If they were placed between his fingers, they would spread out. He used to say, 'I have been informed that the keys to paradise are the swords.' This narration is from 'Abdus Samad ibn Hassan."
