3143. Mu'âdh bin Jabal said that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: "Whoever fights in the cause of Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, for the length of time between two milkings of a she-camel, Paradise is guaranteed for him. Whoever asks Allâh to be killed (in Jihâd) sincerely, from his heart, then dies or is killed, he will have the reward of a martyr. Whoever is wounded or injured in the cause of Allâh, it will come on the Day of Resurrection bleeding the most it ever bled, but its color will be like saffron, and its fragrance will be like musk. Whoever is wounded in the cause of Allâh, upon him is the seal of the martyrs." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
A she-camel's udders are small and hard. After milking her a little bit, one gets tired. The flow of milk also stops temporarily. After a little rest or pause, the supply of milk returns and the milk gets collected again in her udders, and
one starts to milk once again. Thus this task is accomplished after many pauses and rests. A rest or pause between two milkings is called Fuwāq in Arabic. This rest lasts for a few minutes, not more. Allāh, Most High, does not look at the time and the quantity. Allāh, Most High, sees the intention and the condition of the heart. It forms the very basis of the recompense too.
