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.
