Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that on the occasion of the Battle of Uhud, he presented himself before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to participate in the battle, but he was not granted permission. At that time, he was fourteen years old. Then, on the occasion of the Battle of Khandaq, he presented himself again and was granted permission. At that time, he was fifteen years old.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade taking the Qur'an to the enemy's territory.

Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arranged a race for those horses that had been prepared (for jihad), from the place of Hafyaa, and the limit of this race was Thaniyyatul Wada’. And for those horses that had not yet been prepared, their race was from Thaniyyatul Wada’ to the mosque of Banu Zuraiq. Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) also participated in this horse race.

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Goodness and blessings will remain attached to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection. (Because they will continue to be used in jihad.)

Hazrat Urwah al-Bariqi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Goodness and blessing will remain tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection, meaning reward in the Hereafter and spoils of war in this world will continue to be obtained.

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Blessing is tied to the forelock of the horse.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever sets out in the way of Allah (for jihad), Allah becomes his guarantor. (Allah Almighty says:) His faith in Me and his affirmation of My messengers has made him leave (his home for this sacrifice). (I guarantee) that either I will return him with reward and spoils of war, or (after being martyred) I will admit him into Paradise. (The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:) And if I did not consider it difficult for my ummah, I would never stay behind from accompanying the army, and my wish is that I be killed in the way of Allah, then brought back to life, then killed again, then brought back to life, then killed again.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever fights in the way of Allah, setting out solely with the intention of jihad, believing in Allah’s word (His promise) as true, then Allah is his guarantor. Either Allah will cause him to be martyred and admit him to Paradise, or He will return him to his home with reward and spoils of war.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Every wound that a Muslim receives in the way of Allah will be in the same state on the Day of Resurrection as it was when it was inflicted. Blood will be flowing from it, its color will be like that of blood, and its fragrance will be like that of musk.

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There will be no person who, after entering Paradise, would wish to return to the world, even if he were given everything in the world, except for the martyr. He will wish to return to the world and be killed ten more times (in the path of Allah) because of the honor of martyrdom that he sees there.
