Hazrat Abu Bakr bin Hafs narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said in the Battle of Badr: { سابقوا إلَی مَغْفِرَۃٍ مِنْ رَبِّکُمْ وَجَنَّۃٍ عَرْضُہَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ } "That is, hasten towards forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth." (Hazrat Mas'ar says that either this was a verse from Surah Aal-e-Imran or Surah Al-Hadid). Upon hearing this statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Ibn Qushaym (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! What is the reward for a person who fights these disbelievers and is martyred?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "His reward is Paradise." Ibn Qushaym (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Paradise in exchange for this world is enough for me." He had some dates in his hand; he threw the dates away, advanced, and was martyred while fighting the enemy.
