Hadith 11:214

'Abd al-Rahim ibn Sulayman narrated to us, from Ash'ath ibn Siwar, from Muhammad ibn Sirin, from Abu 'Ubayd ibn Hudhayfah, who said: Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, 'Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud, Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari, and Abu Musa al-Ash'ari were in the mosque. A man came and said, "O 'Abd Allah ibn Qays," calling him by his name. He said, "Do you see, if I were to take my sword and strive with it, desiring the Face of Allah, and I were killed while in that state, where would I be?" He [Abu Musa] said, "In Paradise." At that, Hudhayfah said, "Ask him to understand and make him understand, for he shall surely enter the Fire, such and such [number of times], doing what he said." Then Hudhayfah said, "If you take your sword and strive with it, and you hit the truth, and you are killed while in that state, then you are in Paradise. But whoever misses the truth and is killed while in that state, and Allah did not grant him success and did not guide him, he enters the Fire." The people said, "You have spoken the truth."

حدثنا عبد الرحيم بن سليمان عن أشعث بن سوار عن محمد بن سيرين عن أبي عبيد بن حذيفة قال كان حذيفة بن اليمان وعبد الله بن مسعود وابو مسعود الأنصاري وأبو موسى الأشعري في المسجد فجاء رجل فقال يا عبد الله بن قيس فسماه باسمه فقال أرأيت إن أنا أخذت سيفي فجاهدت به أريد وجه الله فقتلت وأنا على ذلك أين أنا قال في الجنة قال حذيفة عند ذلك استفهم وأفهمه فليدخلن النار كذا وكذا يصنع ما قال هذا فقال حذيفة إن أخذت سيفك فجاهدت به فأصبت الحق فقتلت وأنت على ذلك فأنت في الجنة ومن أخطأ فقتل وهو على ذلك فلم يوفقه الله ولم يسدده دخل النار قال القوم صدقت
