Riyad as-Salihin 1344 (Book 11, Hadith 60) #37833
Rewards for Soldiers Who Fight for Allah

SUMMARY: A detachment of soldiers who fight in the way of Allah will receive two-thirds of their reward in this life and one-third in the Hereafter, while a troop that returns disappointed and is afflicted by misery will receive its full reward in the Hereafter.

'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "A detachment of soldiers, large or small, who fights in the way of Allah, gets its share of booty and returns safe and sound, receives in advance two- thirds of its reward (only one-third remaining to its credit will be received in the Hereafter). And a troop of soldiers, large or small, that returns disappointed and is afflicted by misery, will receive its full reward (in the Hereafter)". Muslim.
وعن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص، رضي الله عنهما، قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ما من غازية أو سرية تغزو، فتغنم وتسلم، إلا كانوا قد تعجلوا ثلثي أجورهم، وما من غازية أو سرية تخفق وتصاب إلا تم لهم أجورهم‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
