Who are the best of people?’ The Messenger of God answered: 'A believer who strives with all his effort in God's Cause with his life and his posses- sions.' They asked: 'Who is the next best He said: 'A believ- er who secludes himself on a mountainous way worshipping God alone and keeping his mischief away from the people’.” 1153. It was related that Abu Huraira said: "I heard the Messenger of God say: 'The similitude of one who performs Jihad in the Cause of God, and God knows best who strives in His Cause, is as the one who fasts and prays continuously. God promis- es that the one who performs Jihad in His Cause will enter Paradise if he is killed, or He will reward him and return him home in safety with war spoils.” BLN a * 1154.

Shall we tell the people this good news?’ He said: ‘Paradise has one hundred levels which God has set aside for those who fight in His Cause, and the distance between each two levels is as the distance between the Heaven and the Earth. So if you ask God, ask for Al-Firdous, which is the best and high- est part of Paradise.' The sub-narrator added: 'I think the Prophet (Prayers & peace be upon him) also said: ‘Above Al- Firdous is the Throne of the Merciful and from it springs the rivers of Paradise’.

When they were nearby the brother of my mother said to them: ‘I will go on before you and if they permit me to convey the message of the Messenger of God, then it is well, otherwise stay close to me.’ So he went on ahead and the un- believers promised him safe passage. But as he conveyed the message of the Messenger of God they signaled to one of their men who stabbed him to death. My maternal uncle said: ‘God is Great! By the Lord of the Ka'ba, I am successful.’ Thereafter they fell upon the remainder of the party and Killed them all except one lame man who went to the peak of the mountain.

It was related that Anas said: "My uncle Anas Ibn Al Nadj missed the Battle of Badr. He said: 'O Messenger of God! I missed the first battle you fought against the unbelievers, if God permits me another chance to fight the unbelievers, without doubt, God will see how valiantly I will fight.’ Then on the day of Uhud when the Muslims deserted and fled he said: 'O God! I seek Your forgiveness for what they have done and I denounce what the unbelievers have done.’ Then he went forward and Sa'd Ibn Mu'adh met him, he said: 'O Sa'd Ibn Mu'adh! By the Lord of Al Nadr, Paradise is near. I perceive its scent from the side of Uhud.’ Later Sa’d said: 'O Messenger of God! I cannot do what he did. We found him with over eighty wounds in his body inflicted by swords and arrows. He was dead when we found him and his body was so badly mutilated that no one could identify him except his 626Book of Jihad mame Gl Lik meme sister from his fingers.’ We thought that this verse was re- vealed about him and others like him: 'Of the believers are men who have been true to their pledge to God.....'."

By Him Who sent you with the Truth, my sister's tooth shall not be brok- en. Then the adversaries of Anas's sister accepted compensa- tion instead of retaliation.
