A believer's nobility lies in his piety, his worth in his faith, and his manliness in his character. Boldness and cowardice are instincts that Allah places wherever He wills. The coward flees from his own father and mother, while the bold man fights for what will bring him no return to his camp. Being killed is but one death among many kinds of death, and the martyr is the one who offers up his life for the sake of Allah.
و حدثني عن مالك عن يحيى بن سعيد أن
كرم المؤمن تقواه ودينه حسبه ومروءته خلقه والجرأة والجبن غرائز يضعها الله حيث شاء فالجبان يفر عن أبيه وأمه والجريء يقاتل عما لا يئوب به إلى رحله والقتل حتف من الحتوف والشهيد من احتسب نفسه على الله
