وعن أبي قتادة رضي الله عنه

أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قام فيهم فذكر أن الجهاد في سبيل الله والإيمان بالله أفضل الأعمال فقام رجل فقال: يا رسول الله أرأيت إن قتلت في سبيل الله أتكفر عني خطاياي؟

فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «نعم إن قتلت في سبيل الله وأنت صابر محتسب مقبل غير مدبر«ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «كيف قلت؟ «قال: أرأيت إن قتلت في سبيل الله أتكفر عني خطاياي؟

فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «نعم وأنت صابر محتسب مقبل غير مدبر إلا الدين فإن جبريل عليه السلام قال لي ذلك»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stood up among his Companions and said, “Jihad in the way of Allah and belief in Allah (with all His Attributes) are the most meritorious of actions.”

A man stood up and said: “O Messenger of Allah! Inform me if I am killed in the way of Allah, will my sins be blotted out?” The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Yes, in case you are killed in the way of Allah and you remained patient, hopeful of reward, and advancing forward without retracing back (i.e., while fighting).”

Then he said, “What was your question?” He inquired again: “Inform me, if I am killed in the way of Allah, will all my sins be blotted out?” The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied, “If you remained patient, hopeful of reward and always fought without turning your back upon enemy, everything, except debt, will be forgiven. Jibril has told me this.”.
