Sabrah ibn Abi Faakih said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah say, "The Shaytaan lies in wait on the paths of the children of Adam and he lies in wait on the path of Islam and says,'Will you become Muslim and forsake your religion and the religion of your fathers and forefathers?" Then he disobeys him and becomes Muslim.
Then he lies in wait on the path of Hijrah and says, "Will you migrate and leave your land and sky? The one who migrates is like a horse on a long rope" Then he disobeys him and migrates for the sake of Allah.
Then he lies in wait on the path of Jihaad and says, "Will you engage in Jihaad and strive with yourself and wealth, and fight and be killed, so your wife will remarry and your wealth will be shared out?" Then he disobeys him and engages in Jihaad.
Whoever does that, will deserve to be admitted to paradise by Allah. Whoever is killed, will deserve to be admitted to paradise by Allah. Whoever is drowned, will deserve to be admitted to paradise by Allah. Whoever is trampled by his riding beast, will deserve to be admitted to paradise by Allah.
[Saheeh Sunan an-Nasaa'i 2/657, no. 2937]
