Sahih Muslim 1885a (Book 33, Hadith 176) #11986
The Rewards of Jihad and Belief in Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that if a person is killed in the way of Allah while being patient and sincere, all their sins will be forgiven except for any debts they owe.

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Qatada that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up among them (his Companions) to deliver his sermon in which he told them that Jihad in the way of Allah and belief in Allah (with all His Attributes) are the most meritorious of acts. A man stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, do you think that if I am killed in the way of Allah, my sins will be blotted out from me? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Yes, in case you are killed in the way of Allah and you were patient and sincere and you always fought facing the enemy, never turning your back upon him. Then he added: What have you said (now)? (Wishing to have further assurance from him for his satisfaction), he asked (again): Do you think if I am killed in the way of Allah, all my sins will be obliterated from me? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Yes, it you were patient and sincere and always fought facing the enemy and never turning your back upon him, (all your lapses would be forgiven) except debt. Gabriel has told me this.
