Sahih al-Bukhari 2924 (Book 56, Hadith 137) #2797
Rewards for Naval Expedition and Invading Caesar's City

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) promised Paradise to the first batch of his followers who will undertake a naval expedition and forgiveness of sins for the first army amongst his followers who will invade Caesar's City.

Narrated Khalid bin Madan: That 'Umair bin Al-Aswad Al-Anasi told him that he went to 'Ubada bin As-Samit while he was staying in his house at the sea-shore of Hims with (his wife) Um Haram'.Umair said. Um Haram informed us that she heard the Prophet saying, "Paradise is granted to the first batch of my followers who will undertake a naval expedition". Um Haram added, I said, 'O Allah's Messenger ! Will I be amongst them?' He replied, 'You are amongst them'. The Prophet then said, 'The first army amongst' my followers who will invade Caesar's City will be forgiven their sins'. I asked, 'Will I be one of them, O Allah's Messenger ?' He replied in the negative".
