Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ فَأَبْلَى بَلَاءً حَسَنًا فَعَجِبَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ بَلَائِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ قُلْنَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ فَلَمَّا اشْتَدَّتْ بِهِ الْجِرَاحُ وَضَعَ ذُبَابَ سَيْفِهِ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ ثُمَّ اتَّكَأَ عَلَيْهِ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي قُلْتَ لَهُ مَا قُلْتَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَتَضَرَّبُ وَالسَّيْفُ بَيْنَ أَضْعَافِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ لِلنَّاسِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ.
English Translation
Abu al-Nadr narrated to us: Abd al-Rahman, that is Ibn Abd Allah ibn Dinar, narrated to us, from Abu Hazim, from Sahl ibn Sa'd, who said: There was a man with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in one of his military campaigns, and he fought with great distinction, so the Muslims marveled at his valor. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Indeed, he is among the people of the Fire. We said: In the path of Allah, alongside the Messenger of Allah? Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: The man went out, and when his wounds became severe, he placed the tip of his sword between his breasts and leaned upon it. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was informed, and it was said to him: The man about whom you said what you said — I saw him striking himself with the sword between his ribs. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: A man may do the deeds of the people of Paradise as it appears to people, while he is in truth among the people of the Fire; and a man may do the deeds of the people of the Fire as it appears to people, while he is in truth among the people of Paradise.
