حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ يُكْلَمُ أَحَدٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ - وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ يُكْلَمُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ - إِلاَّ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَجُرْحُهُ يَثْعَبُ اللَّوْنُ لَوْنُ دَمٍ وَالرِّيحُ رِيحُ مِسْكٍ " .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: One who is wounded in the way of Allah-and Allah knows better who is wounded in His way-will appear on the Day of Judgment with his wound bleeding. The colour (of its discharge) will be the colour of blood, (but) its smell will be the smell of musk.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1876d
This hadith focuses on the wound received in Allah’s way. The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم says that the one who is wounded in the way of Allah will come on the Day of Judgment with his wound bleeding. The color will be the color of blood, while the smell will be the smell of musk. The wording also says Allah knows best who is wounded in His way. That phrase keeps the matter tied to true sincerity and Allah’s knowledge, not outward claims alone. For readers searching wound in Allah’s cause musk, martyr wound hadith, or Sahih Muslim 1876d, this narration gives the exact image: blood in color and musk in scent on the Day of Judgment. It does not discuss other rewards, so the explanation should stay with this scene.
