وَعَن أبي قَتَادَة قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا مُقبلا غير مُدبر يكفر اللَّهُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نَعَمْ» . فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ نَادَاهُ فَقَالَ: «نَعَمْ إِلَّا الدَّيْنَ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ جِبْرِيلُ» . رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ

Abu Qatadah reported: A man said: ‘Messenger of Allah, what do you think? If I am killed in the path of Allah, patient and seeking reward, advancing and not turning back, will Allah erase my sins?’ The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) replied: ‘Yes.’ When the man turned away, he called him back and said: ‘Yes, except for debt. Gabriel told me that.’ Muslim transmitted it. Its listed grading is sahih (al-Albani).
