Chapter 1 | Virtue and Excellence of Serving in the Army

8- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَخْبَرَنِي بِأَمْرٍ قَرَّتْ بِهِ عَيْنِي وَفَرِحَ بِهِ قَلْبِي قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ غَزَا غَزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ فَمَا أَصَابَهُ قَطْرَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَوْ صُدَاعٌ إِلا كَانَتْ لَهُ شَهَادَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

8. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from abu al-Bakhtariy who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah , has said that the Messenger of Allah has said, ‘ Jibril informed me of something and it brought delightfulness to my eyes and happiness to my heart. He said, “O Muhammad, anyone of your followers who fights the enemy for the cause of Allah, even if a drop of rain falls on him from the sky or he experiences a headache, he will, on the Day of Judgment, receive for it a reward equal to that for martyrdom.’””
