Hadith 1629

Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Our Lord is amazed by two men: a man who leaves his bed and his blanket, leaving his beloved and family to pray, so Allah says to His angels: 'Look at My servant; he left his bed, his blanket, and his beloved and family to pray, out of desire for what I have and fear of what I have.' And a man who fights in the cause of Allah, but his companions flee, and he knows what awaits him if he flees and what awaits him if he returns. So he returns until his blood is shed, and Allah says to His angels: 'Look at My servant; he returned out of desire for what I have and fear of what I have, until his blood was shed.'"
