Abu Najeeh Amr bin Abasah Salami (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Whoever shoots one arrow in the way of Allah, it is (in reward) equal to freeing one slave." Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is authentic,
2- Abu Najeeh's name is Amr bin Abasah Salami,
3- By Abdullah bin Azraq is meant Abdullah bin Zaid.

‘Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:“Two eyes will not be touched by the fire of Hell: one eye that wept out of fear of Allah, and one eye that spent the night standing guard in the path of Allah.” Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- The hadith of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) is Hasan Gharib; we know it only through the narration of Shu‘aib bin Riziq,
2- In this chapter, there are also ahadith from ‘Uthman and Abu Rayhanah (may Allah be pleased with them).

Narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Martyrdom in the way of Allah becomes an expiation for every sin (for the martyr)," Jibreel (peace be upon him) said: "Except for debt," and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said: "Except for debt." 1. Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is ghareeb (strange/rare),
2- We know this hadith from the narration of Abu Bakr only through this sheikh (i.e., Yahya bin Talhah), I asked Muhammad bin Isma'il Bukhari about this hadith and he expressed ignorance and said: I think Yahya bin Talhah wanted to narrate the hadith of Humaid which he narrated from Anas, and Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "There is no one among the people of Paradise who would wish to return to the world except the martyr,"
3- In this chapter, there are also ahadith from Ka'b bin Ujrah, Jabir, Abu Hurairah, and Abu Qatadah.

Narrated from Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The souls of the martyrs are in the form of green birds in Paradise, eating from its fruits or grazing among its trees." Imam Tirmidhi says: This hadith is hasan sahih.

Narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three persons were presented to me who will enter Paradise first: a martyr, the one who keeps away from the unlawful and avoids inappropriate matters, and the slave who worships Allah well and wishes good for his masters or fulfills their rights." Imam Tirmidhi says: This hadith is Hasan.

Narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There is no deceased servant who has reward with Allah and wishes to return to the world for anything in the world and whatever is in it, except the martyr, because he has seen the status and rank of martyrdom. Thus, he wishes to return to the world and be martyred again (and come back)." Imam Tirmidhi says:
This hadith is Hasan Sahih.

‘Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:“There are four types of martyrs: The first is the believer with good faith who faces the enemy and fulfills the promise made to Allah until he is martyred. He is the one whom people will look up to on the Day of Resurrection, and (the narrator Fadala bin Ubaid, in order to describe this state, said) he raised his head until his cap fell off.”The narrator Abu Yazid Khawlani says: I do not know whether Fadala meant the cap of ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) or that of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He (the Prophet) said:“The second is the believer with good faith who faces the enemy, but due to his cowardice, his skin is wounded by the thorns of «طلح» (a large thorny tree), and an arrow comes from behind (from an unknown source) and strikes him and kills him. He is of the second rank. The third is the believer who does both good and bad deeds. When he faces the enemy, he fulfills the promise made to Allah (i.e., he fights bravely) until he is martyred. He is of the third rank. The fourth is the believer who wrongs himself (i.e., due to excessive sins, but he fights bravely) until he is martyred. He is of the fourth rank.” Imam Tirmidhi says:
This hadith is gharib; we know it only from the narration of ‘Ata bin Dinar. I heard Muhammad bin Isma’il Bukhari say: This hadith was narrated by Sa’id bin Abi Ayyub from ‘Ata bin Dinar, and he narrated it from the elders of Khawlan, and in it he did not mention Abu Yazid. And ‘Ata bin Dinar said: (that in this hadith) there is no harm.

Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went to the house of Umm Haram bint Milhan, she would feed him. Umm Haram (may Allah be pleased with her) was married to Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him). One day, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went to her, so she fed him and began to look for lice in his head. He fell asleep. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) woke up, smiling. Umm Haram (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is making you smile?" He replied, "Some warriors of my Ummah were presented before me; they were riding on the surface of this sea, sitting on thrones, looking like kings." The narrator is in doubt whether he said «ملوك على الأسرة» or «مثل الملوك على الأسرة» . I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah that He makes me among them." So he prayed for her. Then he rested his head and slept again, then woke up smiling. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! What is making you smile?" He said, "Some people of my Ummah were presented before me, fighting in the way of Allah." He said as he had said before. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah that He makes me among them." He said, "You will be among the first (to fight in jihad on the sea)." Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: During the time of Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with them), Umm Haram (may Allah be pleased with her) set out on a sea journey (for a jihad), and when she was coming out of the sea, she fell from her mount and died.

Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is Hasan Sahih.
2- Umm Haram bint Milhan is the sister of Umm Sulaym and the maternal aunt of Anas bin Malik (and was a close relative from the maternal side of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

He replied:“Whoever fights so that the word of Allah is exalted, he is in the way of Allah.” Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is Hasan Sahih,
2- There is also a narration from Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) in this chapter.

'Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Actions are judged by intentions, and every person will get what he intended. So, whoever's migration was for Allah and His Messenger, his migration will be for Allah and His Messenger. And whoever migrated for worldly gain or to marry a woman, his migration will be for that for which he migrated." Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is Hasan Sahih,
2- Malik bin Anas, Sufyan Thawri, and many Imams of hadith have narrated it from Yahya bin Sa'id; we know it only from the narration of Yahya bin Sa'id al-Ansari,
