Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ الْفَزَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلٌ مُقَنَّ
عٌ بِالْحَدِيدِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُقَاتِلُ وَأُسْلِمُ. قَالَ " أَسْلِمْ ثُمَّ قَاتِلْ ". فَأَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ قَاتَلَ، فَقُتِلَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " عَمِلَ قَلِيلاً وَأُجِرَ كَثِيرًا ".

English Translation
Al-Bara (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a man whose face was covered with an iron mask (i.e. clad in armor) came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! Shall I fight or embrace Islam first? "the Prophet ﷺ said, "Embrace Islam first and then fight." So he embraced Islam, and was martyred. Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, A Little work, but a great reward. "(He did very little (after embracing Islam), but he will be rewarded in abundance
