وعن أبي بكر بن أبي موسى الأشعري، قال: سمعت أبي رضي الله عنه وهو بحضرة العدو

يقول: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «إن أبواب الجنة تحت ظلال السيوف«فقام رجل رث الهيئة فقال: يا أبا موسى أأنت سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول هذا؟ قال: نعم، فرجع إلى أصحابه، فقال: «اقرأ عليكم السلام«ثم كسر جفن سيفه فألقاه، ثم مشى بسيفه إلى العدو فضرب به حتى قتل»

I heard my father saying in the presence of the enemy: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “The gates of Jannah are under the shades of the swords.”

A man with a shaggy appearance got up and said, “O Abu Musa! Did you hear the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) say that in person?” Abu Musa replied in the affirmative; so he returned to his companions and said: “I tender you farewell greetings.” Then he broke the scabbard of his sword and threw it away. He rushed towards the enemy with his sword and fought with it till he was martyred.
