It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: There is no one who enters Paradise and then would wish to leave it and be given all that is on the earth, except for the martyr. He, realizing the honor of martyrdom, will wish to be taken out of Paradise so that he may be martyred again.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has taken the responsibility for the person who sets out in His path, and (Allah Almighty says that) when this person sets out only for striving in My path, believing in Me, and affirming My Messenger, then I also guarantee that I will admit him into Paradise, or return him to his home with reward or spoils, whatever he has obtained. (Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:) By Him in Whose hand is my soul! Any wound that is inflicted in the path of Allah, the wounded person will come on the Day of Resurrection in the same state as when he was wounded; the color of the blood flowing from the wound will be the same as that of blood, but its fragrance will be like that of musk. By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad! If it were not hard upon the Muslims, I would never stay behind from any army fighting in the path of Allah, but I do not have the means to bring them all with me, and they do not like to stay behind from me. By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad! I wish that I fight in the path of Allah and am killed, then (brought back to life and) fight again and am killed, then (brought back to life and) fight again and am killed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Uhud: "If I am martyred, where will I be?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "In Paradise." So he threw away the dates that were in his hand and began to fight, until he was martyred and separated from the food of this world.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The martyrs are on one side of a river in a green dome at the gate of Paradise; morning and evening their sustenance comes to them from Paradise.

Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, the souls of the martyrs are in green birds, hanging from the fruits or trees of Paradise.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) promised us the battle of India. If I am martyred in it, then I will be the best of martyrs, and if I return from it, then Abu Hurairah will return freed from the Fire.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The martyr does not feel any pain from being killed, except like the pain one of you feels from a pinch or a sting.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every wound that a Muslim receives in the path of Allah will appear on the Day of Resurrection in the same state as when it was inflicted, with blood flowing from it; its color will be that of blood, but its fragrance will be that of musk.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty laughs at two men, although one of them kills the other, but both enter Paradise. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah! How is that? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: One is martyred and enters Paradise, then Allah turns towards the other, that is, the killer, and guides him to Islam, then he fights in the way of Allah and is martyred.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Talha bin Ubaidullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), until the Harrah near the Waqim hill (of Madinah) became visible to us. When we approached it, we saw that there were some graves at the lower part of the valley. We said: O Messenger of Allah! These are the graves of our brothers. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These are the graves of our companions. Then we moved forward until we reached the graves of the martyrs. There the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These are the graves of our brothers.
