Abu Darda reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever establishes the prayer, gives the zakat, and dies without associating anything with Allah, it is a right upon Allah, Mighty and Majestic, to forgive him, whether he emigrated or died in the place of his birth."We said, "Messenger of Allah, shall we not inform the people of this so that they may rejoice at the news?"He replied, "Paradise has one hundred levels, and between every two levels is a distance like that between heaven and earth. Allah has prepared them for those who strive in His path. Were it not that I would impose hardship on the believers, and that I cannot find mounts for them all, and that they cannot bear to be left behind after me, I would never stay back from any military expedition. I would love to be killed, then brought back to life, then killed again."

Hasan

عن أبي الدرداء قال

قال رسول ﷺ: من أقام الصلاة وآتى الزكاة، و مات لا يشرك بالله شيئا، كان حقا على الله عزوجل أن يغفر له، هاجر أو مات في مولده، فقلنا: يا رسول الله، ألا نخبر بهاالناس، فيستبشروا بها؟ فقال: إن للجنة مائة درجة، بين كل درجتين كما بين السماء والأرض، أعدها الله للمجاهدين في سبيله، ولولا أن أشق على المؤمنين، ولا أجد ما أحملهم عليه، ولا تطيب أنفسهم أن يتخلفوا بعدي، ما قعدت خلف سرية، ولوددت أني أقتل، ثم أحيا ثم أقتل.
