It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: God laughs at the two men both of whom will enter Paradise (though) one of them kills the other. They said: Messenger of Allaah, how is it? He said: One of them fights in the way of Allaah, the Almighty and Exalted. and dies a martyr. Then God turns in mercy to the murderer who embraces Islam, fights in the way of Allaah, the Almighty and Exalted, and dies a martyr.
