either be admitted to Jannah or will be brought back to his home (safely) from where he has set out, with whatever
reward or share of booty he may have gained. By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, if a person is wounded
in the way of Allah, he will come on the Day of Resurrection with his wound in the same condition as it was on the
day when he received it; its colour will be the colour of blood but its smell will be the smell of musk. By Him in
Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, if it were not to be too hard upon the Muslims, I would not lag behind any
expedition to fight in the Cause of Allah, but I have neither abundant means to provide them conveyance (horses)
nor all other Muslims have it, and it will be hard on them to remain behind when I go forth (for Jihad). By Him in
Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, I love to fight in the way of Allah and get killed, to fight again and get killed and
to fight again and get killed
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
1. Besides the merit of Jihad, this Hadith mentions the distinction of that Mu'min (
righteous Muslim
) who is
wounded on the battlefield. It tells us that he will be so resurrected on the Day of Resurrection as if he was wounded
on that day. Blood will be dripping from his body which will be emitting the fragrance of musk. This condition will
show the distinction and majesty of the Mujahid (
warrior in the way of Allah
) on the Day of Judgement.
2. It also mentions the kindness and mercy which the Prophet (PBUH) cherished for his Ummah.
3. It also mentions the Prophet's passion for Jihad which is evident from the repeated expression of his desire for
martyrdom - in fact an endless series of life for performing it again and again for the sake of Allah. A similar desire
is also made by other martyrs. They pray to Allah that they be restored to life so that they can lay down their life
again and again for His sake.

wound having the colour of blood but with the fragrance of musk

Muadh (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "
Jannah becomes incumbent for
a Muslim who fights for the Cause of Allah for a period as long as the time between two consecutive turns of
milking a she-camel. He who receives a wound or a bruise in the Cause of Allah will appear on the Day of
Resurrection as fresh as possible, its colour will be the colour of saffron and its fragrance will be that of musk
.''
[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud].
Commentary:
"
Fawaq
'' is the period that intervenes between two consecutive turns of milking a she-camel. It is a
very short interval and is an allusion to a very short period that one may spend in Jihad. Even Jihad for such a short
time is so meritorious that his entitlement to Jannah is ensured by it, provided the Mujahid is sincere in his intention
and his past conduct is free from major sins and encroachment on the rights of others.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: One of the Prophet's Companions came upon a
valley containing a rivulet of fresh water and was delighted by it. He reflected: `I wish to withdraw from people and
settle in this valley; but I won't do so without the permission of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).' This was
mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and he said (to the man), "
Do not do that, for when any of you
