2754. It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The one who fights in the cause of Allâh has a guarantee from Allâh. Either He will raise him to His forgiveness and mercy, or He will send him back with reward and spoils of war. The likeness of the one who fights in the cause of Allâh is that of one who fasts and prays at night without ceasing, until he returns." (Hasan)

Arabic text

2754 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ شَيْبَانَ، عَنْ فِرَاسٍ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْمُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَضْمُونٌ عَلَى اللَّهِ، إِمَّا أَنْ يَكْفِتَهُ إِلَى مَغْفِرَتِهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَرْجِعَهُ بِأَجْرٍ وَغَنِيمَةٍ، وَمَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، كَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ، الَّذِي لَا يَفْتُرُ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ» بَابُ فَضْلِ الْغَدْوَةِ وَالرَّوْحَةِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

Commentary

The reward of a fighter in the cause of Allâh continues even if he is not in the state of fighting. Hence, the reward of fighting in the cause of Allâh is more than other deeds. Booty is a blessing for a fighter in the cause of Allâh, since he spends it in good deeds and gets more reward.
