1620. Anas [bin Mālik] narrated: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: meaning: Allāh [Mighty and Sublime is He] says:[1] ‘The Mujāhid in My cause, he has a guarantee from Me. If I seize him, I cause him to inherit Paradise, and if I return him, I return him with a reward or spoils of war.’” (Hasan) [He said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb Saḥīḥ from this route.
١٦٢٠ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَرْزُوقٌ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَعْنِي يَقُولُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: «الْمُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِي هُوَ عَلَيَّ ضَامِنٌ»، إِنْ قَبَضْتُهُ أَوْرَثْتُهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَإِنْ رَجَعْتُهُ رَجَعْتُهُ بِأَجْرٍ أَوْ غَنِيمَةٍ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Jihād is an activity that never fails to achieve its objective. For instance, if a Mujāhid meets his martyrdom on the battlefield, he goes straight to Paradise. If, on the other hand, he returns from the battle front alive, he either gets his reward from Allāh in the Hereafter or his share from the spoils of war in this world, or both. This means that, even if he receives no spoils of war in this world, his immense recompense and reward in the Hereafter are still assured.
