حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، ثَنَا بُكَيْرُ بْنُ الْأَخْنَسِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ يَعْدِلُ عِبَادَةَ شَهْرٍ أَوْ سَنَةٍ، صِيَامَهَا وَقِيَامَهَا، وَمَنْ مَاتَ مُرَابِطًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى أَعَاذَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَجْرَى لَهُ أَجْرَ رِبَاطِهِ مَا قَامَتِ الدُّنْيَا

✧ Ribat (guarding the frontier) for a day in the path of Allah equals the worship of a month or a year, its fasting and its standing (in prayer). And whoever dies as a murabit (one stationed at the frontier) in the path of Allah, Exalted is He, Allah, Exalted is He, will protect him from the punishment of the grave, and will continue to record for him the reward of his ribat as long as the world lasts.
