Salman relates that he heard the Holy Prophet say: Patrolling the frontier’ for a day and a night is better than a month’s fasting and voluntary Prayer at night and should such a one die while engaged in such patrolling, that with which he was occupied and his provision will both be continued and he will be shielded against the trials of the grave (Muslim).

Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: To him who goes forth in His cause, impelled only by the desire to strive in His cause, and by faith in Him and by his affirmation of the truth of His Messengers, Allah guarantees that He will admit him to Paradise or bring him back to the home from which he issued forth together with the reward or spoils achieved by him. By Him in Whose hands is Muhammad's life such a one will suffer no injury in the cause of Allah but that he will appear on the Day of Judgment in the same condition in which he was on the day when he received the injury, its colour will be the colour of blood and its smell will be like the fragrance of musk. By Him in Whose hands is Muhammad’s life, were it not that it would be hard upon the Muslims, I would not tarry behind any party whatever that goes forth to fight in the cause of Allah; but I have not the means to provide transportation for them nor have they and it would be hard on them to remain behind while I went forth. By Him in Whose hands is Muhammad's life, I would wish to fight in the cause of Allah and be killed, and to fight again and be killed, and to fight again and be killed (Muslim).
