"عن المغيرة بن شعبة قال: كنا في غَزاة فقدِم رجل فقاتل حتى قتل، فقالوا: ألقى بيدِه إلى التهلكة، فكُتبِ فيه إلى عمر، فكتب عمر: ليس كما قالوا، هو من الذين قال اللَّه فيهم: {وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْرِي نَفْسَهُ ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللَّهِ} ".

"It is narrated from al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah that he said: 'We were on a military campaign when a man came forward and fought until he was killed. They said: He cast himself with his own hand into destruction. So a letter was written about him to 'Umar, and 'Umar wrote: It is not as they said. He is one of those about whom Allah said: {And among mankind is he who sells himself, seeking the pleasure of Allah}.'"
