It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever dies in the state of ribat (guarding the frontier in the way of Allah), he will be saved from the trial of the grave, will be granted security from the great terror, will be provided sustenance from Paradise morning and evening, and the reward of a person in ribat will be written for him until the Day of Resurrection.
