سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ اللَّهِ لَأَلْفُ ضَرْبَةٍ بِالسَّيْفِ أَهْوَنُ مِنْ مَوْتٍ عَلَى فِرَاشٍ قَالَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Sa’ad Bin Sa’ad, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the words of Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>: ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! A thousand strikes with the sword is easier than death upon a bed’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘In the Way of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’.
