English translation
[4859] 103 - (1876) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Allâh has guaranteed to the one who goes out (to fight) in His cause - “and he only goes out to engage in Jihâd in My cause, out of faith in Me and affirming the truth of My Messengers - then I guarantee that I will either admit him to Paradise or I will bring him back to his home from which he departed, with whatever he has attained of reward or spoils of war.” By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muḥammad, there is no one who is wounded in the cause of Allâh, but he will come on the Day of Resurrection in the state in which he was wounded, with its color the color of blood and its scent that of musk. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muḥammad, were it not that it would cause hardship to the Muslims, I would not have stayed behind from any expedition that went out to fight in the cause of Allâh, but I do not have sufficient means to provide mounts for them, nor do they have sufficient means, and it would be too hard for them to stay behind without me. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muḥammad, I wish that I could fight in the cause of Allâh and be killed, then fight and be killed, then fight and be killed.”
