Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ضَمْضَمُ بْنُ جَوْسٍ الْهِفَّانِيُّ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ رَجُلَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا مُجْتَهِدٌ فِي الْعِبَادَةِ وَالْآخَرُ مُسْرِفٌ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَكَانَا مُتَآخِيَيْنِ فَكَانَ الْمُجْتَهِدُ لَا يَزَالُ يَرَى عَلَى الْآخَرِ ذَنْبًا فَيَقُولُ وَيْحَكَ أَقْصِرْ فَيَقُولُ الْمُذْنِبُ خَلِّنِي وَرَبِّي فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَامِرٍ
English Translation
'Abd al-Samad narrated to us, 'Ikrimah ibn 'Ammar narrated to us who said: Damdam ibn Jaws al-Hiffani narrated to us, he heard Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The first of people to be judged on the Day of Resurrection will be a man who was martyred. He will be brought and reminded of the favors bestowed upon him, and he will acknowledge them. Allah will say: What did you do with them? He will say: I fought for Your sake until I was martyred. Allah will say: You lied. Rather, you fought so that it would be said he is brave, and it was said. Then he will be ordered to be dragged on his face and thrown into the Fire.'
