What is the authenticity of the hadith: “The martyr has six honors with Allah…”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first message in this episode is from Hawtat Bani Tamim, sent by one of the female listeners there, who indicated her name with the letters: (H. A. F). Our sister asks about what is reported in a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): “The martyr has six honors with Allah: that he does not feel the pain of death except as the bite of a mosquito, that he is forgiven at the first drop of his blood, that the questioner does not reach him in the grave, that he is clothed in the crown of majesty, that he is placed in the dwellings of the prophets, and that he intercedes for seventy of his family.” Is this hadith authentic? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance.
As for what follows:
I do not know the status of this hadith, nor do I know its authenticity, but it has corroborating narrations that indicate the authenticity of some of it. It is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said regarding the one who stays in the frontier:
That he is safe from the questioner, and that his deeds and provision are sent down to himأنه يأمن الفتان، وأنه ينزل عليه عمله ورزقه
, and the one who stays in the frontier is less than the martyr. If this is the case for the one who stays in the frontier, then it is hoped for the martyr. The martyrs are promised Paradise, as the Exalted and Majestic said:
And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision,وَلا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ
[Al Imran: 169]. So the martyrs are in great goodness, and they have great virtue with Allah, if Allah rectifies their intentions and they strive in the path of Allah to exalt His word. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
