Narrated Fadalah bin ‘Ubaid: That he heard ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab saying: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: ‘The martyrs are four: A believing man whose faith is good, he meets the enemy and proves faithful to Allah until he is killed. That is the one to whom the people will raise up their eyes like this on the Day of Judgement’ and he raised his head until his Qalansuwah fell – [he said:] I do not know if it was ‘Umar’s Qalansuwah or the Qalansuwah of the Prophet (ﷺ) that fell – he said, ‘And a believing man whose faith is good (but not as brave as first), he meets the enemy, but due to cowardice, it only appears that he was struck with a thorn of an acacia tree when an unexpected arrow comes to him, yet it kills him. He is among the second level. And a believing man who has mixed righteous deed with another evil one, he meets his enemy and proves faithful to Allah until he is killed. This one is in the third level. And a believing man who wasted himself (in wrongdoing), he meets the enemy and proves faithful to Allah until he is killed. This one is in the fourth level.’” [Abu ‘Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Gharib, it is not known except as a narration of ‘Ata bin Dinar. He said: I heard Muhammad saying: “Sa’eed bin Abi Ayyub reported this Hadith from ‘Ata bin Dinar – from some Shaikhs of Khawlan – and he did not mention ‘from Abu Yazid’ in it.” And he said: “‘Ata bin Dinar; there is no harm in him.”

Narrated Ishaq bin ‘Abdullah bin Abi Talhah: That he heard Anas [bin Malik] saying: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to visit Umm Haram bint Milhan, who would offer him meals. Umm Haram was the wife of ‘Ubadah bin As-Samit. Once the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) visited her and she provide him with some food and started inspecting this head for lice. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) slept and afterwards he awoke smiling. She said: ‘I said: “What causes you to smile, O the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ?” He said: “Some of my followers who were displayed before me )in a dream) as fighters in Allah’s cause, riding on a ship this ocean who were kings upon thrones, or like kings upon thrones.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah! Supplicate to Allah to make me among them.’” So he supplicated for her. Then he lay down his head to sleep. Then he woke up and he was smiling. She said: ‘So I said to him: “What causes you to smile, O the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?” He said: “Some of my followers who were displayed before me (in a dream) as fighters in Allah’s cause,” and he said similar to what he said earlier. She said: ‘I said: “O Messenger of Allah! Supplicate to Allah to make me among them.” He said: “You are the earlier ones.’” He said: “So Umm Haram rode on the sea during the time of Mu’awiyah bin Abu Sufyan. She was thrown from the riding animal after she arrived from the ocean voyage, and she died.” [Abu ‘Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. Umm Haram bint Milhan is the daughter of Umm Sulaim, the maternal aunt of Anas bin Malik.

Narrated Abu Musa: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about a man who fights out of bravery, one who fights out of protection (for himself or others), and one who fought to be seen. Which of them is in the cause of Allah ? He said: ‘Whoever fought so that the Word of Allah is supreme, then he is in Allah’s cause.’” [Abu ‘Eisa said:] There is something on this topic from ‘Umar. This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Muhammad bin Bash-shar narrated to us (he said): “Abu Ahmad narrated to us from Sufyan (who said): “Alqamah bin Marthad narrated to us’ – and it is similar in its meaning, but he added in it: “if they refuse, then take the Jizyah from them, and it they refuse then seek aid from Allah against them.” [Abu ‘Eisa said:] This is how it was reported from Waki’ and others from Sufyan. And other than Muhammad bin Bash-shar reported it from ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Mahdi, and he mentioned the matter of the Jizyah in it.

Narrated Yazid bin Abu Maryam: “Abayah bin Rifa’ah bin Rafi’ met me while I was walking to the Friday prayer. He said: ‘Have glad tidings, for indeed these footsteps of yours are in the cause of Allah. I heard Abu ‘Abs say: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, ‘Whoever get his two feet dusty in the path of Allah, then they are prohibited for the Fire.’” [Abu ‘Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih Gharib. Abu ‘Abs’s name is ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Jabr. There are narrations on this topic from Abu Bkar and a man from the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ). He said: Yazid bin Abi Maryam is a man from Ash-Sham. Al-Walid bin Muslim, Yahya bin Hamzah, and some others among the people of Ash-Sham report from him. Buraid bin Abi Maryam is form Al-Kufah. His father is one of the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) whose name was Malik bin Rabi’ah. [Buraid bin Abi Maryam heard from Anas bin Malik. Abu Ishaq Al-Hamdani, ‘Ata bin As-Sa’ib, Yunus bin Abi Ishaq, and Shu’bah reported Ahadith from Buraid bin Abi Maryam].

Narrated Anas bin Malik: That the Prophet (ﷺ) would not attack except near the time of Fajr, so if he heard the Adhan he would refrain, and if not, then he would attack. So he listened one day and heard a man saying: “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,” so he said: “Upon the Fitrah.” Then he said: “I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah.” So he said: “You have departed from the Fire.”

Another chain with similar narrations. [Abu ‘Eisa said: ] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: “It was said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what equals Jihad?’ He said: ‘Verily, you (people) are not capable of it.’ So they repeated it to him two or three times, each time he said, ‘You (people) are not capable of it.’ Then he said the third time: ‘The example of the Mujahid in the path of Allah is like the one who fasts and stands (in prayer) and does not slacken from Salat, nor fasting, until the Mujahid in the cause of Allah returns.’” There are narrations on this topic from Ash-Shifa’, ‘Abdullah bin Hubshi, Abu Musa’, Abu Sa’eed, Umm Malik Al-Bahziyyah, and Anas. This Hadith is a Hasan Sahih. And it has been reported through more than one route from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet (ﷺ).

Narrated Anas bin Malik: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: meaning: Allah Mighty and Sublime is He says: ‘The Mujahid in My cause, he has guarantee fro Me. If I I seize him, I cause him to inherit Paradise, and if I return him, I return him with a reward or spoils of war.’” [He said:] This Hadith is Gharib Sahih from this route.

Narrated Fadalah bin ‘Ubaid: That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The deeds of everyone who dies are sealed. Except for the one who dies guarding the frontier from the enemy, in the cause of Allah. For indeed his actions are increased for him until the Day of Judgement, and he is secure from the tribulation of the grave.” And I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: “The Mujahid is one who strives against his own soul.” [Abu ‘Eisa said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir and Jabir. The Hadith is Fadalah is a Hasan Sahih Hadith.
