English Translation
Aktham ibn Abi al-Jawn narrated: We said, "O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so is brave in battle." He said: "He is in the Fire." We said: "O Messenger of Allah, if someone like him with his worship, striving, and gentle character is in the Fire, then where are we?" He said: "That is merely the submissiveness of hypocrisy; he is in the Fire." He said: We watched him in battle — no horseman or foot soldier passed by him except that he pounced upon him. His wounds multiplied, and we came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so has been martyred." He said: "He is in the Fire." When his wounds became unbearable, he took his sword and placed it between his chest, then leaned upon it until it came out of his back. I came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "I testify that you are the Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, a man may do the deeds of the people of Paradise while he is among the people of the Fire, and a man may do the deeds of the people of the Fire while he is among the people of Paradise. Wretchedness or happiness overtakes him at the departure of his soul, and he is sealed with it."
