Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying, “If anyone goes out to perform <i>hajj</i> or <i>'umra</i>, or to fight with infidels, and dies on the way, God will record for him the reward of him who fights with infidels, him who performs the <i>hajj</i> and him who performs the <i>'umra</i>.” Baihaqi transmitted it in <i>Shu'ab al-iman</i>.

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ خَرَجَ حَاجًّا أَوْ مُعْتَمِرًا أَوْ غَازِيًا ثُمَّ مَاتَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَجْرَ الْغَازِي وَالْحَاجِّ والمعتمِرِ» . رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ
