Mishkat al-Masabih #3797
Jihad
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «عَجِبَ اللَّهُ مِنْ قَوْمٍ يُدْخَلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ فِي السَّلَاسِلِ» . وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: «يُقَادُونَ إِلى الجنَّةِ بالسلاسل» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
Abu Huraira reported the Prophet as saying, “God is charmed with people who will enter paradise in chains.”* A version has, “who will be led to paradise in chains.”
*This is explained as meaning non-Muslims who are taken prisoner and accept Islam.
Bukhari transmitted it.
