I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Satan sits in wait for the son of Adam along all his paths. He sits for him on the path of Islam and says, 'Will you accept Islam and abandon your religion, the religion of your forefathers and the fathers of your father?' But he disobeys him and accepts Islam.Then he sits for him on the path of migration and says, 'Will you migrate and leave behind your land and your sky? The example of the one who migrates is like a horse tethered by a rope.' But he disobeys him and migrates.Then he sits for him on the path of jihad and says, 'Will you fight, when it is a struggle of body and wealth? You will fight and be killed, your wife will be married to another, and your wealth will be divided.' But he disobeys him and fights."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Whoever does this, it is a right upon Allah that He admit him into Paradise. Whoever is killed, it is a right upon Allah
that He admit him into Paradise. If he drowns, it is a right upon Allah that He admit him into Paradise. If his mount throws him and breaks his neck, it is a right upon Allah that He admit him into Paradise."
سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: إن الشيطان قعد لابن آدم بأطرقه، فقعد له بطريق الإسلام، فقال: تسلم، وتذر دينك، ودين آبائك، وآباء أبيك، فعصاه، فأسلم، ثم قعد له بطريق الهجرة، فقال: تهاجر، وتدع أرضك، وسماءك، وإنما مثل المهاجر كمثل الفرس في الطول، فعصاه فهاجر، ثم قعد له بطريق الجهاد، فقال: تجاهد فهو جهد النفس والمال، فتقاتل فتقتل، فتنكح المرأة، ويقسم المال، فعصاه فجاهد، فقال رسول الله ﷺ: فمن فعل ذلك، كان حقا على الله عز وجل أن يدخله الجنة، ومن قتل كان حقا على الله عز وجل أن يدخله الجنة، وإن غرق كان حقا على الله أن يدخله الجنة، أو وقصته دابته كان حقا على الله أن يدخله الجنة.
This was narrated by Nasai (3134), Ahmad (15958), and Ibn Abu Shayba (5/293), and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (4593), all of them through the route of Musa bin Musayab, who said, "Salim bin Abu Jaad informed me, from Sabra bin Abu Fakih," and he related it.Its isnad is hasan because of Musa bin Musayab, for his hadith is graded hasan. Hafiz declared its isnad hasan in the biography of Sabra bin Abu Fakih in al-Isabah (4/219).His saying "the rope" (with the ta with a kasra and the waw with a fatha) refers to the rope, one end of which is tied to the stake and the other end to the horse's hand.Among the conditions for jihad to become obligatory is that the guardian of the Muslims and their leader must call for it.
