Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ تَوَكَّلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِحِفْظِ امْرِئٍ خَرَجَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَا يُخْرِجُهُ إِلَّا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَتَصْدِيقٌ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يُوجِبَ لَهُ الْجَنَّةَ أَوْ يُرْجِعَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ أَوْ مِنْ حَيْثُ خَرَجَ.

Mu'awiyah ibn 'Amr narrated to us, he said: Za'idah narrated to us, he said: Abu al-Zinad narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Rahman al-A'raj, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said: "Allah the Almighty has guaranteed to protect a person who goes out in His cause - nothing drives him out except jihad in Allah's cause and belief in His words - to grant him Paradise, or to return him to his home from which he departed."
