حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ يَعْنِي الْفَزَارِيَّ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى، عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ - وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْقَتْلُ (١) ثَلَاثَةٌ: رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ جَاهَدَ (٢) بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، فَذَلِكَ الشَّهِيدُ الْمُمْتَحَنُ (٣) فِي خَيْمَةِ اللهِ تَحْتَ عَرْشِهِ، لَا يَفْضُلُهُ النَّبِيُّونَ إِلَّا بِدَرَجَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ، وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ قَرَفَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا، جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ، وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، فَمَصْمَصَةٌ مَحَتْ (٤) ذُنُوبُهُ وَخَطَايَاهُ، إِنَّ السَّيْفَ مَحَّاءُ الْخَطَايَا، وَأُدْخِلَ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شَاءَ، فَإِنَّ لَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ أَبْوَابٍ، وَلِجَهَنَّمَ، ، سَبْعَةَ أَبْوَابٍ، وَبَعْضُهَا أَسْفَلُ (١) مِنْ بَعْضٍ، وَرَجُلٌ مُنَافِقٌ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ فِي النَّارِ، السَّيْفُ لَا يَمْحُو النِّفَاقَ (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Killing is of three types. One is the Muslim man who fights in the way of Allah with his life and wealth; when he faces the enemy, he is killed while fighting. He is the martyr who will boast under the Throne of Allah in Allah’s tent, and the Prophets will have superiority over him only because of the rank of Prophethood. The second is the Muslim man who is burdened with sins and slips; he fights in the way of Allah with his life and wealth; when he faces the enemy, he is killed while fighting. This person will be cleansed of sins and slips because the sword wipes away sins, and he will be given the choice to enter through any of the gates of Paradise, for Paradise has eight gates and Hell has seven gates, some of which are more virtuous than others. And the third is the hypocrite man who fights in the way of Allah with his life and wealth; when he faces the enemy, he is killed while fighting. This person will go to Hell because the sword does not wipe away hypocrisy. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.
