1712. 'Abdullāh bin Abī Qatādah narrated that he heard his father, narrating a Hadīth, which he heard from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, in which he had stood among them, mentioning to them that Jihād in the cause of Allāh and faith in Allāh were the most virtuous of deeds. Then a man stood and said: "O Messenger of Allāh! If I were killed in the cause of Allāh, would my sins be forgiven?" So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Yes. If you are killed in Allāh's cause, and you are patient, seeking the reward, advancing, not fleeing." Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "What was it that you said?" So he replied: "If I were killed in the cause of Allāh, would my sins be removed (forgiven)?" So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Yes. If you are patient, seeking the reward, advancing, not fleeing – except for debt. For Jibrīl said that to me." (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from Anas, Muḥammad bin Jahsh, and Abū Hurairah. This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. Some of them reported this Hadīth from Sa'eed Al-Maqbūrī, from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ, similar to this. Yahya bin Sa'eed Al-Anṣārī and more than one narrator reported this from Sa'eed Al-Maqbūrī from 'Abdullāh bin Abī Qatādah, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ. This is more correct than the narration of Sa'eed Al-Maqbūrī from Abū Hurairah.

١٧١٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَنَّهُ قَامَ فِيهِمْ، فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ أَنَّ الْجِهَادَ» فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَالْإِيمَانَ بِاللهِ أَفْضَلُ الْأَعْمَالِ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ يُكَفِّرُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: نَعَمْ، إِنْ قُتِلْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَأَنْتَ صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ، مُقْبِلٌ غَيْرُ مُدْبِرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَيْفَ قُلْتَ؟ قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، أَيُكَفِّرُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: نَعَمْ، وَأَنْتَ صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ، مُقْبِلٌ غَيْرُ مُدْبِرٍ إِلَّا الدَّيْنَ فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ قَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَحْشٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَ هَذَا، وَرَوَى يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ نَحْوَ هَذَا عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.
