English Translation
Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ghalib al-Hafiz informed us in Baghdad, from Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Hamdan al-Naysaburi, from Muhammad ibn Ayyub, from Ibrahim ibn Musa, from Isa ibn Yunus, from Zakariyya, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are His servant and Messenger. Then he advanced and fought until he was killed. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: This man did little but was rewarded greatly.
