Hadith text

Narrated Al-Bara:A man whose face was covered with an iron mask (i.e. clad in armor) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I fight or embrace Islam first? "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Embrace Islam first and then fight." So he embraced Islam, and was martyred. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, A Little work, but a great reward. "(He did very little (after embracing Islam), but he will be rewarded in abundance

Al-Bara bataate hain: Ek shaks jiska chehra lohe ke naqab (yaani zire) se dhaka hua tha, Nabi ke paas aaya aur kaha: "Ya Allah ke Rasool! Kya pehle main jung karun ya Islam qubool karun?" Nabi ne kaha: "Pehle Islam qubool karo, phir jung karo." Isliye usne Islam qubool kiya aur shaheed ho gaya. Allah ke Rasool ne kaha: "Thoda kaam, magar bada ajr." (Usne bahut kam kiya, magar use bahut zyada ajr milega.)
