Hadith #479
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي وَهُوَ بِحَضْرَةِ الْعَدُوِّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ
السُّيُوفِ قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ رَثُّ الْهَيْئَةِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى آنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمْ السَّلَامَ ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَفْنَ سَيْفِهِ فَأَلْقَاهُ ثُمَّ مَشَى بِسَيْفِهِ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ

English Translation
Bahz narrated to us, Jaʿfar ibn Sulaymān narrated to us, Abū ʿImrān al-Jawnī narrated to us, from Abū Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Qays, who said: I heard my father, while he was in the presence of the enemy, say: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The gates of Paradise are beneath the shadows of swords.' A man of shabby appearance stood up and said: 'O Abū Mūsā, did you yourself hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said: 'Yes.' So he went back to his companions and said: 'I send you my salām.' Then he broke the scabbard of his sword and threw it away, then walked with his sword and fought with it until he was killed.
