Arabic text

١٦٥٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ ‌سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى ، عَنْ ‌مَالِكِ بْنِ يَخَامِرَ السَّكْسَكِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ سَأَلَ اللهَ الْقَتْلَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَادِقًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ أَجْرَ الشَّهَادَةِ» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

If a person sincerely desires to perform a virtuous deed but finds himself unable to do it, the sincerity of his resolve and the purity of his intention shall secure for him the reward of the intended deed, and he shall be reckoned among those who have actually performed it.
