Martyrs And Martyrdom

Tradition n. 395

قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:

فَوقَ كُلِّ بِرٍّ بِرٌّ حَتّى يُقتَلَ الرَّجُلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ عزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَيسَ فَوقَهُ بِرٌّ.

The Holy Prophet (S) said: “There is a goodness above any goodness until when a believing person, (Fighting against the enemies of Islam who slaughter Muslims), is killed in the way of Allah, Almighty and Glorious, then there is no goodness above it.”
