Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) says that there is no night on the face of the earth more beloved to me, in which I receive the good news of a son and a bride is sent to me whom I love, than that night which is full of hardship, which I spend with a group of Mujahideen, and in the morning I lead them to attack the enemy. Therefore, jihad is obligatory upon you.

Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) says: By Allah! I do not know which day I love more—the day on which Allah grants me martyrdom, or the day on which I am given a great honor.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Regarding the one who strives in the path of Allah, Allah Almighty has taken it upon Himself that either He will grant him His forgiveness and mercy, or he will return with reward and spoils of war. The example of the one who strives in the path of Allah is like that of a person who fasts during the day and stands in prayer at night, and does not show any laziness in these deeds.

After setting out on the journey, he performed less worship than his usual routine. Hazrat Tamim Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "May Allah have mercy on you! Why did you perform less worship than your usual routine?" He replied, "Because by setting out in the path of Allah, I am receiving the reward equal to those who fast during the day and stand in prayer at night, and that is sufficient for me."

The Prophet (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "Perhaps your hair kept you back." He replied, "I will bring a man to you as a captive." The narrator says that those people liked to keep their hair well-groomed.
