Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ مِينَاءَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ انْتَدَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِمَنْ يَخْرُجُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ لَا يُخْرِجُهُ إِلَّا الْإِيمَانُ بِي وَالْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِي أَنَّهُ عَلَيَّ ضَامِنٌ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِإِيمَانِهِ مَا كَانَ إِمَّا بِقَتْلٍ وَإِمَّا بِوَفَاةٍ أَوْ أَرُدَّهُ إِلَى مَسْكَنِهِ الَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنْهُ نَالَ مَا نَالَ مِنْ أَجْرٍ أَوْ غَنِيمَةٍ.
English Translation
Hajjaj told us: Layth told us: Sa'id told me, from 'Ata' ibn Mina', the freed slave of Ibn Abi Dhubab, that he heard Abu Hurayrah say: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has guaranteed for whoever goes forth in His way, moved by nothing but faith in Me and jihad in My way, that he is a charge upon Me until I admit him to Paradise for his faith, whatever happens to him — whether by being killed or by natural death — or that I return him to his dwelling from which he set out, having attained whatever he attained of reward or spoils."
