أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى هُوَ الصَّدَفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى الْأُمْلُوكِيِّ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
الْقَتْلَى ثَلَاثَةٌ مُؤْمِنٌ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِيهِ «فَذَلِكَ الشَّهِيدُ الْمُمْتَحَنُ فِي خَيْمَةِ اللَّهِ تَحْتَ عَرْشِهِ لَا يَفْضُلُهُ النَّبِيُّونَ إِلَّا بِدَرَجَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَمُؤْمِنٌ خَلَطَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَآخَرَ سَيِّئًا جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ» قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فِيهِ مُمَصْمِصَةٌ مَحَتْ ذُنُوبَهُ وَخَطَايَاهُ إِنَّ السَّيْفَ مَحَّاءٌ لِلْخَطَايَا وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شَاءَ وَمُنَافِقٌ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَإِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ فَذَاكَ فِي النَّارِ إِنَّ السَّيْفَ لَا يَمْحُو النِّفَاقَ»

✧ The slain are three: a believer who strove with his self and his wealth in the path of Allah; when he met the enemy he fought until he was killed. The Prophet ﷺ said concerning him: 'That is the tested martyr in the tent of Allah beneath His Throne, none surpassing him except the prophets by the degree of prophethood. And a believer who mixed a righteous deed with another evil one, who strove with his self and his wealth in the path of Allah; when he met the enemy he fought until he was killed.' The Prophet ﷺ said concerning him: 'A cleansing purifier that wiped away his sins and his errors; indeed the sword is an eraser of errors, and he will be admitted to Paradise from whichever of the gates of Paradise he wishes. And a hypocrite who strove with his self and his wealth; when he met the enemy he fought until he was killed, then that one is in the Fire; indeed the sword does not erase hypocrisy.'"
