110 Hadith Qudsi, Chapter: 110 Ahadith Qudsi (Sacred Hadith)

The Prophet (SAW) said: Our Lord (SWT) wonders at two men: One is he who got out of his bed and quitted from among his family and tribesmen to perform prayers. Our Lord says: 0 My angels! Look at this slave of Mine who got up from his bed and quitted from among his tribesmen to offer prayers desiring what is available with Me and fearing what is with Me. Second is he who fought in Allah's cause and got defeated along with his fellow fighters. But he knew what punishment he will suffer in case of fleeing from the battlefield and what reward he will get in returning to the battlefield. So he returned (and fought against Allah's enemies) until he was killed desiring what is with Me and awing from what is with Me. Allah (SWT) says to his angels (wonderingly): Look at My slave who returned (to the battlefield) hoping for what is with Me and fearing what is with Me until his blood was shed. (This Hadith is good and reported by Ahmad, Abu Daud, Ibn Hibban and AI-Hakim).
