Hadith 1314 - Bab 234 (Obligation of Jihad)
Chapter 12 (The Book of Jihad)
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man asked the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him): "Tell me where I will be if I am killed while fighting in the way of Allah?" He (Peace be upon him) replied, "In Jannah." The man threw away the few dates which he had in his hand, jumped into the battlefield and fought on till he was killed.

Hadith 1315 - Bab 234 (Obligation of Jihad)
Chapter 12 (The Book of Jihad)
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) and his Companions reached Badr before the polytheists, and when they arrived, he (Peace be upon him) directed: "Let no one of you advance ahead of me." When the polytheists came near, the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Now stand up and proceed towards Jannah which is as wide as are the heavens and the earth." 'Umair bin Al-Humam (May Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Is Jannah as wide as are the heaven and the earth?" The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) replied in the affirmative. 'Umair remarked: "Great!" The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) asked him what had urged him to say so. He replied: "Nothing, O Messenger of Allah! But hope that I might become one of the inhabitants of Jannah." The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "You will definitely be among them." 'Umair then took some dates out of his quiver and began to eat them, but after a short time he said: "If I survive till I eat my dates, it will mean a long life." So he threw away the dates which he had with him and then fought with the enemy till he was killed.
[Muslim].
Hadith 1316 - Bab 234 (Obligation of Jihad)
Chapter 12 (The Book of Jihad)
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Some people came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and said to him: "Send with us some men who may teach us the Qur'an and the Sunnah." He (Peace be upon him) sent seventy men from the Ansar. They were called Al-Qurra' (the reciters) and among them was my maternal uncle, Haram. They used to recite the Qur'an, ponder over its meaning and learn (its wisdom) at night. In the day, they used to bring water and pour it in pitchers in the mosque, then they would collect wood and sell it; and with the sale proceeds, they would buy food for the people of As-Suffah and the needy. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) sent the reciters with these people but these (treacherous people) fell upon them and killed them before they reached their destination. (While dying) they supplicated: "O Allah convey from us the news to our Prophet that we have met You (in a way), that we are pleased with You and You are pleased with us." (The narrator said:) A man attacked Haram from behind and smote him with a spear which pierced him. Whereupon Haram said: "By the Rubb of Ka'bah, I have met with success. The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said to his Companions, "Your brethren have been slain and they were saying: "O Allah! Convey from us to our Prophet the news that we have met You (in a way) that we are pleased with You and You are pleased with us."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
{ مِنَ المُؤْمِنينَ رِجَالٌ صدقُوا مَا عَاهَدوا اللَّه عليْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ منْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ} إلى آخرهَا [ الأحزاب: 23] . متفقٌ عَلَيْهِ، وَقَدْ سبَقَ في باب المُجاهدة.
Hadith 1317 - Bab 234 (Obligation of Jihad)
Chapter 12 (The Book of Jihad)
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: My uncle Anas bin An- Nadr (May Allah be pleased with him) was absent from the battle of Badr. He said: "O Messenger of Allah! I was absent from the first battle you fought against the pagans. (By Allah!) if Allah gives me a chance to fight against the pagans, no doubt, Allah will see how (bravely) I will fight." On the Day of Uhud, when the Muslims turned their backs and fled, he said, "O Allah! I apologize to You for what these (i.e., his companions) have done, and I denounce what these (i.e., the pagans) have done." Then he advanced and Sa'd bin Mu'adh met him. He said: "O Sa'd bin Mu'adh! By the Rubb of An-Nadr, Jannah! I am smelling its aroma coming from before (the mountain of) Uhud," Later on, Sa'd said: "O Messenger of Allah! I cannot achieve or do what he (i.e., Anas bin An-Nadr) did. We found more than eighty wounds by swords, spears and arrows on his body. We found him dead and his body was mutilated so badly that none except his sister could recognise him by his finger." We used to think that the following Ayah was revealed concerning him and other men of his sort: "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah (i.e., they have gone out for Jihad, and showed not their backs to the disbelievers), of them some have fulfilled their obligations (i.e., have been martyred)." (33:23).

One of them said: 'This house is the house of martyrs'."

Will you not tell me about Harithah? (He was killed in the battle of Badr). If he is in Jannah I shall show endurance, but if he has met another fate, I may exert myself in weeping for him." He (Peace be upon him) replied, "O mother of Harithah, in in the gardens of Jannah there are many ranks, and your son has attained Al-Firdaus, the highest."
