حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ يُكْلَمُ أَحَدٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ـ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ يُكْلَمُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ ـ إِلاَّ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَاللَّوْنُ لَوْنُ الدَّمِ وَالرِّيحُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbd Allah ibn Yusuf informed us; Malik informed us, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-Aʿraj, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah said: “By the One in whose hand is my soul, no one wounded in Allah’s cause—and Allah knows best who is wounded in His cause—will come on the Day of Resurrection except that the wound’s color will be the color of blood and its scent the scent of musk.”

Translation notes

  • The report contrasts the wound’s appearance with its fragrance at the Resurrection.
