قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ - هُوَ ابْنُ حَرْبٍ - ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ - هُوَ ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ - ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْوَضَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنِي الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، ثَنَا حَنَانُ بْنُ خَارِجَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ؓ
قَالَ لِي: يَا حَنَانُ، ابْدَأْ بِنَفْسِكَ فَجَاهِدْهَا، يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ ابْدَأْ بِنَفْسِكَ فَاغْزُهَا ; فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ قُتِلْتَ فَارًّا بَعَثَكَ اللهُ فَارًّا، وَإِنْ قُتِلْتَ مُرَائِيًا بَعَثَكَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مُرَائِيًا، وَإِنْ قُتِلْتَ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا بَعَثَكَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا

✧ He said to me: O Hanan, begin with yourself and strive against it. O servant of God, begin with yourself and raid it; for if you are killed while fleeing, God will resurrect you as a fleer; if you are killed while showing off, God, Mighty and Majestic, will resurrect you as a show-off; and if you are killed patiently seeking reward, God, Blessed and Exalted, will resurrect you as patient and seeking reward.
