The Rewards & Punishments of Deeds · Hadith 727 (#Ḥadīth #2)

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِلْجَنَّهِ بَابٌ یُقَالُ لَهُ بَابُ الْمُجَاهِدِینَ یَمْضُونَ إِلَیْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَفْتُوحٌ وَ الْمُجَاهِدُونَ مُتَقَلِّدُونَ سُیُوفَهُمْ وَ الْجَمْعُ فِی الْمَوْقِفِ وَ الْمَلَائِکَهُ تَتَرَحَّبُ بِهِمْ فَمَنْ تَرَکَ الْجِهَادَ أَلْبَسَهُ اللَّهُ ذُلًّا- وَ فَقْراً فِی مَعِیشَتِهِ وَ مَحْقاً فِی دِینِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَکَ وَ تَعَالَی أَعَزَّ أُمَّتِی بِسَنَابِکِ خَیْلِهَا وَ مَرَاکِزِ رِمَاحِهَا.

2. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One of the doors of Paradise is called ‘the door of soldiers’. All the people will have to wait while the soldiers will enter through this door with swords hanging from their necks. Angels will be congratulating them. Those who keep away from Jihad in the world, Allah will give them disgrace and poverty in this world and make them wear the dress of destruction in the hereafter. Surely the Almighty Allah has kept the greatness of my Ummah in the hooves of horses and points of the lances.”
