حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ

أَنَّهُ قَامَ فِيهِمْ، فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ أَنَّ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالإِيمَانَ بِاللَّهِ أَفْضَلُ الْأَعْمَالِ. فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، تُكَفَّرُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «نَعَمْ، إِنْ قُتِلْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَأَنْتَ صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ، مُقْبِلٌ غَيْرُ مُدْبِرٍ». ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «كَيْفَ قُلْتَ؟»، قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، أَتُكَفَّرُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «نَعَمْ، وَأَنْتَ صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ، مُقْبِلٌ غَيْرُ مُدْبِرٍ، إِلَّا الدَّيْنَ، فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ ؑ قَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ».

from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he stood among them and mentioned to them that striving in the path of Allah and believing in Allah are the best of deeds. A man stood up and said, “O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if I am killed in the path of Allah, will my sins be expiated for me?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: “Yes, if you are killed in the path of Allah while you are patient, seeking reward, advancing and not retreating.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “What did you say?” He said, “What do you think if I am killed in the path of Allah, will my sins be expiated for me?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Yes, while you are patient, seeking reward, advancing and not retreating, except for debt, for Jibril ᴬˢ told me this.”
