English translation

3159. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin Abî Qatâdah that he heard Abû Qatâdah narrate from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, that he stood up among them and said that Jihâd in the cause of Allâh and belief in Allâh are the best of deeds. Then a man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allâh, if I am killed in the cause of Allâh, will Allâh forgive my sins?" The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Yes, if you are killed in the cause of Allâh, and you are patient and seek reward, and you are facing the enemy, not running away - except for debt. Jibrîl (peace be upon him) told me that." (Sahîh)

Arabic text

3157 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَامَ فِيهِمْ، فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ أَنَّ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَالْإِيمَانَ بِاللَّهِ، أَفْضَلُ الْأَعْمَالِ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، أَيُكَفِّرُ اللَّهُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نَعَمْ، إِنْ قُتِلْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَأَنْتَ صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ، مُقْبِلٌ غَيْرُ مُدْبِرٍ، إِلَّا الدَّيْنَ، فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ»
