Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي وَهُوَ بِحَضْرَةِ الْعَدُوِّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ رَثُّ الْهَيْئَةِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى آنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمْ السَّلَامَ ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَفْنَ سَيْفِهِ فَأَلْقَاهُ ثُمَّ مَشَى بِسَيْفِهِ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ.
English Translation
Bahz narrated to us: Ja'far b. Sulayman narrated to us: Abu Imran al-Jawni narrated to us, from Abu Bakr b. Abdullah b. Qays, who said: I heard my father, while facing the enemy, say: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "The gates of Paradise are beneath the shades of swords." He said: So a man from the people, of shabby appearance, stood up and said: "O Abu Musa, did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him?" He said: "Yes." He said: So he went back to his companions and said: "I bid you farewell." Then he broke the sheath of his sword and threw it away, then advanced with his sword, striking with it until he was killed.
