حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ يَعْنِي الْفَزَارِيَّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
« الْقَتْلُ ثَلَاثَةٌ: رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ قَاتَلَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، فَذَلِكَ الشَّهِيدُ الْمُفْتَخِرُ فِي خَيْمَةِ اللهِ تَحْتَ عَرْشِهِ، لَا يَفْضُلُهُ النَّبِيُّونَ إِلَّا بِدَرَجَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ. وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ قَرَفَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا، جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، فَمَصْمَصَةٌ مَحَتْ ذُنُوبَهُ وَخَطَايَاهُ، إِنَّ السَّيْفَ مَحَّاءُ الْخَطَايَا، وَأُدْخِلَ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شَاءَ، فَإِنَّ لَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ أَبْوَابٍ، وَلِجَهَنَّمَ سَبْعَةَ أَبْوَابٍ، وَبَعْضُهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ. وَرَجُلٌ مُنَافِقٌ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ فِي النَّارِ، السَّيْفُ لَا يَمْحُو النِّفَاقَ

✧ "Killing is of three kinds: A believing man who fought with his life and wealth in the path of Allah, until when he met the enemy he fought them until he was killed. That is the martyr who boasts in the tent of Allah beneath His throne, surpassed by the prophets only by the degree of prophethood. And a believing man who committed sins and errors against himself, he strove with his life and wealth in the path of Allah, until when he met the enemy he fought until he was killed. That is a purifying rinse that wipes away his sins and errors. Indeed the sword wipes away errors, and he will be admitted from any gate of Paradise he wishes, for it has eight gates, and Hell has seven gates, some better than others. And a hypocritical man who strove with his life and wealth, until when he met the enemy he fought in the path of Allah until he was killed. That one is in the Fire; the sword does not wipe away hypocrisy."
