I heard Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "People are like gold and silver; those who were best in Jahiliyyah (Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance) are best in Islam, if they have religious understanding; and the souls are like recruited soldiers, they get mixed up with those similar with them in qualities and oppose and drift away from those who do not share their qualities".

- Hadith Riyad as-Salihin 371 (islam) /td> : Introduction, Hadith 371
Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly. - Quran As-Saf(The Row) 61:4 (islam) [65]O Prophet, urge the believers to battle. If there are among you twenty [who are] steadfast, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are among you one hundred [who are] steadfast, they will overcome a thousand of those who have disbelieved because they are a people who do not understand. [66]Now, Allah has lightened [the hardship] for you, and He knows that among you is weakness. So if there are from you one hundred [who are] steadfast, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are among you a thousand, they will overcome two thousand by permission of Allah. And Allah is with the steadfast. - Quran Al-Anfal(The Spoils of War) 8:65-66 (islam) The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A single endeavor (of fighting) in Allah's Cause in the afternoon or in the forenoon is better than all the world and whatever is in it. A place in Paradise as small as the bow or lash of one of you is better than all the world and whatever is in it. And if a houri from Paradise appeared to the people of the earth, she would fill the space between Heaven and the Earth with light and pleasant scent and her head cover is better than the world and whatever is in it." - Hadith Al Bukhari 2796 (islam) Book 56, Hadith 14 Vol. 4, Book 52, Hadith 53 On the day of the Conquest (of Mecca) the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is no emigration after the Conquest but Jihad and intentions. When you are called (by the Muslim ruler) for fighting, go forth immediately." (See Hadith No. 42) - Hadith Al Bukhari 2825 (islam) Book 56, Hadith 41 Vol. 4, Book 52, Hadith 79 “I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, which Jihad is best?’ He said: ‘(That of a man) whose blood is shed and his horse is wounded.’” - Hadith Ibn Majah 2794 (islam) Book 24, Hadith 42 Vol. 4, Book 24, Hadith 2794 “War is deceit.” - Hadith Ibn Majah 2833 (islam) Book 24, Hadith 81 Vol. 4, Book 24, Hadith 2833
