Sunan an-Nasai 3174 (Book 25, Hadith 90) #17786
Vowing Sacrifice for a Greater Cause

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) promised that the Muslims would invade India and Abu Hurairah vowed to sacrifice himself and his wealth if he lived to see it.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah promised that we would invade India. If I live to see that I will sacrifice myself and my wealth. If I am killed, I will be one of the best of the martyrs, and if I come back, I will be Abu Hurairah Al-Muharrar".
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ أَبُو الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ جَبْرِ بْنِ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ وَعَدَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ غَزْوَةَ الْهِنْدِ فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهَا أُنْفِقْ فِيهَا نَفْسِي وَمَالِي وَإِنْ قُتِلْتُ كُنْتُ أَفْضَلَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَإِنْ رَجَعْتُ فَأَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ الْمُحَرَّرُ

This hadith is about the promise of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that Muslims would invade India. Abu Hurairah was so devoted to this cause that he vowed to sacrifice himself and his wealth if he lived long enough to witness it. He was willing to give up everything in order for this mission to be successful. This hadith teaches us about selflessness and dedication towards a greater cause; even if it means sacrificing our own lives or possessions for it. It also shows us how important faith is in Islam; as Abu Hurairah was willing to put his life on the line for something he believed in so strongly.
