It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hold fast to striving (jihad) in the path of Allah, for it is one of the gates of Paradise; through it Allah removes grief and sorrow." Other narrators added to it: "And strive in the path of Allah against those near and those far, establish the limits (hudud) of Allah upon those near and those far, and do not heed the blame of any blamer in the matter of Allah." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man from the people of Paradise will be brought, and Allah Almighty will say to him: O son of Adam! How have you found your abode? He will say: O my Lord! The best of abodes. Allah will say: Ask and wish for something. He will say: What should I ask of You and wish for? I ask only that You send me back to the world so that I may be martyred in Your path ten times, because he will have seen the excellence of martyrdom." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And a man from the people of Hell will be brought, and Allah will say: O son of Adam! How have you found your abode? He will say: O my Lord! The worst of abodes. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will say: Would you give the earth's fill of gold as ransom to be saved from it? He will say: Yes. Allah will say: You have lied; I asked of you something far less and easier than that, but you did not do it." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it with this wording.
