Sahih Muslim: Book 33, Hadith 209

It has been reported on the authority of Bara! ‘ who stated: A man from Banu Nabit (one of the Ansar tribes) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: I testify that there is no god except Allah and that thou art His bondman and Messenger. Then he went forward and fought until he was killed. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: He has done a little but shall be given a great reward.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّاءَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ،
عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّبِيتِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ
بْنُ جَنَابٍ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى – يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُونُسَ – عَنْ زَكَرِيَّاءَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ
عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّبِيتِ – قَبِيلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ – فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ
إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّكَ عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم

“‏ عَمِلَ هَذَا يَسِيرًا وَأُجِرَ كَثِيرًا ‏”‏ ‏.‏
