حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنِي بَحِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِيكَرِبَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
لِلشَّهِيدِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ سِتُّ خِصَالٍ يُغْفَرُ لَهُ فِي أَوَّلِ دَفْعَةٍ مِنْ دَمِهِ وَيُرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَيُجَارُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَيَأْمَنُ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ الأَكْبَرِ وَيُحَلَّى حُلَّةَ الإِيمَانِ وَيُزَوَّجُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ وَيُشَفَّعُ فِي سَبْعِينَ إِنْسَانًا مِنْ أَقَارِبِهِ

“The martyr has six things (in store) with Allah: He is forgiven from the first drop of his blood that is shed; he is shown his place in Paradise; he is spared the torment of the grave; he is kept safe from the Great Fright; he is adorned with a garment of faith; he is married to (wives) from among the wide-eyed houris; and he is permitted to intercede for seventy of his relatives.”

- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
كان ابن المبارك يقول إذا اختلف بقية وإسماعيل فبقية أحب إلي قلت فأيهما أشبه عندك قال بقية أحب إلينا من إسماعيل فأما الحديث فلا يضبط أيها الصحيح
machine translationIbn al-Mubārak used to say: "When Baqiyyah and Ismāʿīl differ, Baqiyyah is dearer to me." I said: "Which of the two is more reliable in your view?" He said: "Baqiyyah is dearer to us than Ismāʿīl; but as for the hadith, it is not established which of them is the sound one."
