It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever is wounded in the way of Allah (Allah knows every person who is wounded in His way), on the Day of Resurrection his wound will be in the same state as it was on the day it was inflicted.

It is narrated from Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever provides shade over the head of a Mujahid, Allah Almighty will grant him shade on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever equips a Mujahid for jihad, he will have a reward equal to that of the Mujahid until he attains martyrdom or returns. Whoever builds a mosque in which the name of Allah is mentioned, Allah Almighty will build a house for him in Paradise.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sahl bin Hunaif that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever helps a warrior in the way of Allah, or assists a debtor in difficulty, or helps a slave who is writing for his freedom for the sake of Allah, then Allah Almighty will grant him shade on the Day when there will be no shade except His.

It is narrated from Hazrat Khalid Jahni (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever provides iftar to a fasting person, prepares a mujahid, arranges for a pilgrim, or takes care of their family after they have left, will receive a reward equal to theirs, and their reward will not be diminished in the least.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have been informed about three people who will be the first to enter Paradise: a martyr, a slave who, despite serving his master, does not fall short in obedience to his Lord, and a poor man with dependents who does not ask anything from anyone.

Hazrat Muammar says that once Mak'hool faced the Qiblah and swore ten times, then said that Jihad is obligatory upon you. After that, he said that if you wish, I can swear even more than this.

Hazrat Dawood, may Allah have mercy on him, says that I said to Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib, may Allah have mercy on him, that I know jihad is obligatory upon all people. Upon hearing this, he remained silent. I knew that if he disagreed with my statement, he would surely express it. I then said again to Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib, may Allah have mercy on him, that I have made preparations for jihad and I am about to set out for jihad. He said, "I will fulfill your responsibilities."

Hazrat Abdullah bin Mubarak (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Hazrat Ata whether jihad is obligatory. He and Hazrat Amr bin Dinar replied that we do not know.

Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the foundation of faith is four things: Prayer, Zakat, Jihad, and Amānah.

Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that Islam has eight parts: prayer is one part, zakat is one part, jihad is one part, Hajj is one part, fasting in Ramadan is one part, enjoining good is one part, forbidding evil is one part. That person is deprived/failed who does not possess any part.
