Musnad Ahmad 8371

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and addressed the people. He mentioned that faith in Allah and jihad in the cause of Allah are among the most excellent deeds in the sight of Allah. A man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, if I am killed in the cause of Allah, while I am patient, seeking reward, advancing and not retreating, will Allah expiate my sins?" He said: "Yes." Then he said: "How did you say it?" He said: "If I am killed in the cause of Allah, while I am patient, seeking reward, advancing and not retreating, will Allah expiate my sins?" He said: "Yes. How did you say it?" He said: "If I am killed in the cause of Allah, while I am patient, seeking reward, advancing and not retreating, will Allah expiate my sins?" He said: "Yes, except for debt, for Jibril confided that to me."
