English translation

2055. It was narrated from Râshid bin Sa'd, that a man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ said: "O Messenger of Allâh, why will the believers be tested in their graves except the martyr?" He said: "The flashing of the swords above his head is trial enough." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2053 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنْ لَيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا بَالُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُفْتَنُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ إِلَّا الشَّهِيدَ؟ قَالَ: «كَفَى بِبَارِقَةِ السُّيُوفِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فِتْنَةً»

Commentary

So to say, the recompense of fighting in the way of Allâh and martyrdom is so immense that all sins are forgiven.
