Hadith 249

(The book) ‘Al-Amaali’ of Al-Sadouq – Ja’far Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far, from Al Barqy, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Abu Ubeyda Al Haza’a, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘They brought captives to the Prophet-saww, so he-saww ordered with killing them apart from one man from between them. The man said, ‘May my father and my mother (be sacrificed for) you-saww, O Muhammad-saww! How come you-saww freed me from between them? ’
He-saww said: ‘Jibraeel-as Informed me-saww from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic that there are five characteristics in you which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and His-azwj Rasool-saww love – the intense self-esteem (Ghayra) upon your sanctimonious ones, and the generousity, and good manners, and truthful tongue, and the bravery’. When the man heard it, he became a Muslim and his Islam was good, and he fought alongside Rasool-Allah-saww a severe battle until he was martyred’’. [92]
