Chapter 1 | Virtue and Excellence of Serving in the Army

3- وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خُيُولُ الْغُزَاةِ فِي الدُّنْيَا خُيُولُهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ أَرْدِيَةَ الْغُزَاةِ لَسُيُوفُهُمْ وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ بِأَمْرٍ قَرَّتْ بِهِ عَيْنِي وَفَرِحَ بِهِ قَلْبِي قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ غَزَا مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَأَصَابَهُ قَطْرَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَوْ صُدَاعٌ كَتَبَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ شَهَادَةً.

3. Through the chains of his narrator Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated the following: “The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘The horses of the people serving in the army are their horses in paradise, and the gowns of the fighters for the cause of Allah are their swords. The Holy Prophet has said, ‘ Jibril (Gabriel) has told me something which has made my eyes and heart delightful, “O Muhammad, whoever of your followers fights for the cause of Allah, thereafter even if a drop from the sky falls on him or he experiences a flu, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, lists him as a martyr.’”
