It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty becomes very pleased upon seeing two people. One is the person who leaves his beloved wife, bed, and blanket, and stands for prayer out of love for Me and desire for My rewards. The second is the person who fights in the way of Allah, runs with it, remembers the consequences of fleeing from the battlefield, and instead of returning, rushes towards the enemy and is martyred. Upon this, Allah Almighty says to the angels: O angels! Look at My servant; he returned towards the enemy out of love for Me and desire for My rewards, and was martyred.
