tirmidhi:1657Aḥmad b. Manīʿ > Rawḥ b. ʿUbādah > Ibn Jurayj > Sulaymān b. Mūsá > Mālik b. Yukhāmir > Muʿādh b. Jabal

That the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever fought in the cause of Allah - a Muslim man - for the time it takes for two milkings of a camel, then Paradise is obligatory for him. And whoever suffered a wound in the cause of Allah, or he suffers from an injury, then he will come on the Day of Resurrection while (his blood will be) more copius that it ever was, its color the color of saffron, and its scent like that of musk." This Hadith is Sahih.  

الترمذي:١٦٥٧حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ يُخَامِرَ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَمَنْ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ نُكِبَ نَكْبَةً فَإِنَّهَا تَجِئُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَغْزَرِ مَا كَانَتْ لَوْنُهَا الزَّعْفَرَانُ وَرِيحُهَا كَالْمِسْكِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ

nasai:3141Yūsuf b. Saʿīd > Ḥajjāj > Ibn Jurayj > Sulaymān b. Mūsá > Mālik b. Yukhāmir > Muʿādh b. Jabal

"Whoever fights in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, for the length of time between two milkings of a she-camel, Paradise is guaranteed for him. Whoever asks Allah to be killed (in Jihad) sincerely, from his heart, then he dies or is killed, he will have the reward of a martyr. Whoever is wounded or injured in the cause of Allah, it will come on the Day of Resurrection bleeding the most it ever bled, but its color will be like saffron, and its fragrance will be like musk. Whoever is wounded in the cause of Allah, upon him is the seal of the martyrs."
