Hadrat Miqdam bin Maadikarb (رضي الله عنه) is reported to have said that the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) had told that God Almighty gives the following six rewards to martyr :
(1) As soon as the first drop of his blood trickles down, he is forgiven and his abode in paradise is shown to him ;
(2) He is kept safe from the torments of the grave ;
(3) He will be free from that great anxiety which the people will feel at the time when the trumpet will be blown ;
(4) A crown of honor will be put on his head. Each gem of the crown will be more valuable than the world and all that it contains.
(5) He will have seventy-two celestial brides, having big eyes;
(6) His recommendation in favor of seventy relatives will be accepted. (Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)
Hadrat Salman Farsi (رضي الله عنه) is reported to have said that the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) had told that the act of guarding of the Frontier of an Islamic State in the path of Allah is better than observing (voluntary) fasts for one month and standing in prayer all night long for one month. If the man, who guards the frontier, dies in the course of performing his duties, he will continue receiving its reward (till the Day of Resurrection). He will be provided with food (which is given to the martyrs) and he will be kept out of the mischief of mischief-makers in the grave. (Mushkat and Muslim).
Hadrat Abu Ayyub (رضي الله عنه) is reported to have said that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had told that a man, who faced his enemy and _ remained steadfast till he was slain or overcome his opponent, would be kept out of mischief in the grave.
