Riyad as-Salihin 1314 (Book 11, Hadith 30) #37803
Martyrdom in the Way of Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) where he would go if he was killed while fighting in the way of Allah, and the Prophet replied that he would go to Jannah.

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man asked the Messenger of Allah : "Tell me where I will be if I am killed while fighting in the way of Allah?" He replied, "In Jannah". The man threw away the few dates which he had in his hand, jumped into the battlefield and fought on till he was killed. Muslim
