Abdullah ibn Abd al-Rahman reported to us from Nuaim ibn Hammad, from Baqiyyah ibn al-Walid, from Buhayr ibn Sad, from Khalid ibn Madan, from al-Miqdam ibn Madikarib, who said: The Messenger of Allah said: The martyr has six distinctions with Allah: he is forgiven at the first gush of blood; he is shown his place in Paradise; he is sheltered from the punishment of the grave; he is safe from the greatest terror; a crown of dignity is placed upon his head, a ruby of which is better than the world and all it contains; he is married to seventy-two of the wide-eyed houris; and he may intercede for seventy of his relatives.

Abu Isa said: This hadith is sahih gharib.
