"عَنَ مَالِكٍ ( ) أنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ قَالَ: كَرَمُ المؤْمِنِ تَقْوَاهُ، وَدِينُهُ حَسَبُهُ، وَمُرُوءَتُهُ خُلُقُهُ، والجُرْأةُ والجُبْنُ غَرَائزُ يضَعُها الله حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ، وَالجَبَانُ يَفِرُّ عَنْ أمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ، وَالجَرِئُ يُقَاتِلُ عَمَّن لاَ يُبالِى رَحْلَه، والقَتْلُ حَتْفٌ مِنَ الحتُوف، وَالشَّهِيدُ مَن احْتَسَبَ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ - ﷻ - ".

"From Malik (...) that it reached him that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said: 'The nobility of the believer is his piety, his religion is his lineage, and his manliness is his character. Boldness and cowardice are dispositions which Allah places wherever He wills. The coward flees from his mother and father, and the bold fights for one who does not care about his baggage. Killing is one of the deaths, and the martyr is one who seeks his reward from Allah ﷻ.'"
