Riyad as-Salihin 1302 (Book 11, Hadith 18) #37791
Sacrifice in the Name of Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who was willing to sacrifice his life for the cause of Allah and how he was rewarded for it.

Abu Bakr bin Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari reported: I heard my father saying in the presence of the enemy: The Messenger of Allah said, "The gates of Jannah are under the shades of the swords". A man with a shaggy appearance got up and said, "O Abu Musa! Did you hear the Messenger of Allah say that in person?" Abu Musa replied in the affirmative; so he returned to his companions and said: "I tender you farewell greetings". Then he broke the scabbard of his sword and threw it away. He rushed towards the enemy with his sword and fought with it till he was martyred. Muslim.
وعن أبي بكر بن أبي موسى الأشعري، قال‏:‏ سمعت أبي رضي الله عنه وهو بحضرة العدو، يقول قال رسول الله ‏"‏إن أبواب الجنة تحت ظلال السيوف‏"‏ فقام رجل رث الهيئة فقال يا أبا موسى أأنت سمعت رسول الله يقول هذا‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ نعم، فرجع إلى أصحابه، فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏اقرأ عليكم السلام‏"‏ ثم كسر جفن سيفه فألقاه، ثم مشى بسيفه إلى العدو فضرب به حتى قتل‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about a man who was willing to sacrifice his life for the cause of Allah and how he was rewarded for it. The man, with a shaggy appearance, heard from Abu Musa that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that “The gates of Jannah are under the shades of swords”. He then broke his sword's scabbard and rushed towards the enemy with it until he became a martyr. This hadith teaches us that we should be willing to make sacrifices in order to please Allah and gain His rewards in return. It also shows us that those who are brave enough to fight against evil will be rewarded by Allah in this world as well as in the hereafter. We should strive hard to do good deeds so that we can gain His pleasure and enter into paradise after our death.
