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.”
Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 10, p. 100
Tradition n. 396
قالَ الإمامُ الصّادِقُ عليه السلام :
مَن قُتِلَ في سَبيلِ الله لَم يُعَرِّف هُ اللّهُ شَيئاً مِن سَيِّئاتِهِ.

قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:

The Holy Prophet (S) said: “...By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if all the members in the skies and on the earth gather to kill a (sinless) believer or be persuaded to it, Allah will surely put them all in the Fire.”

قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:

The Holy Prophet (S) said: “No drop is more beloved with Allah, Almighty and Glorious, than the drop of blood which is poured in the way of Allah.
