Chapter 15 · Jihad (Kitab Al-Jihad)فِي الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَشْرِي نَفْسَهُ
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: عَجِبَ رَبُّنَا عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ رَجُلٍ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَانْهَزَمَ يَعْنِي أَصْحَابَهُ، فَعَلِمَ مَا عَلَيْهِ فَرَجَعَ حَتَّى أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ، فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي رَجَعَ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي حَتَّى أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ .

A Person Who Sells His Self (For The Sake Of Allah)
The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Our Lord Most High is pleased with a man who fights in the path of Allah, the Exalted; then his companions fled away (i. e. retreated). But he knew that it was a sin (to flee away from the battlefield), so he returned, and his blood was shed. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, says to His angels: Look at My servant; he returned seeking what I have for him (i. e. the reward), and fearing (the punishment) I have, until his blood was shed.
