The Book of
Jihad in Sunan An-Nasa’i
3087 It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “When the Prophet (saw) was expelled from
Makkah, Abu Bakr said to him: ‘They have driven out their Prophet, verily to
Allah we belong and to Him we return. They are surely doomed.’ Then it was
revealed: ‘Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those
(believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged; and surely,
Allah is able to give them (believers) victory.’[22:39] Then I knew that there
would be fighting.” Ibn ‘Abbas said: “This is the first Verse that was revealed
concerning fighting.” (Sahih)
3088 It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf and some of his companions
came to the Prophet (saw) in Makkah and said: “O Messenger of Allah! We were
respected when we were idolaters and when we believed, we were humiliated.” He
said: “I have been commanded to pardon, so do not fight.” Then, when Allah
caused us to move to Al-Madinah, He commanded us to fight, but they refrained.
Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: Have you not seen those who were
told to hold back their hands (from fighting) and perform As-Salah”[4:77]
(Sahih)
3089 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘I have
been sent with concise speech and I have been supported with fear. While I was
sleeping, the keys to the treasures of the Earth were brought to me and placed
in my hands.’” Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) has gone and
you are acquiring them.” (Sahih)
3090 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw)” say a
similar Hadith (Sahih)
3091 It was
narrated from Sa’eed bin Musayyab and Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman that Abu
Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘I have been sent
with concise speech, and I have been supported with fear. While I was sleeping,
the keys to the treasures of the Earth were brought to me and placed in my
hands.’ Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) has gone and you are
acquiring them.” (Sahih)
3092 Sa’eed
bin Al-Musayyab narrated that Abu Hurairah told him that the Messenger of Allah
(saw) said: “I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha
illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah). Whoever says La ilaha
illallah, his life and his property are safe from me, except by its right (in
cases where Islamic laws apply), and his reckoning will be with Allah.” (Sahih)
3093 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “When the Messenger of Allah (saw) died and
Abu Bakr appointed as the Khalifah, and some of the ‘Arabs disbelieved, ‘Umar
said: ‘O Abu Bakr! How can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah
(saw) said: I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha
illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah). Whoever says La ilaha
illallah, his life and his property are safe from me, except for its right, and
his reckoning will be with Allah?’ Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him,
said: ‘By Allah, I will surely fight those who separate prayer and Zakah, for
Zakah is what is due on wealth. By Allah, if they withheld from me a small
she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (saw) I will fight
them for withholding it.’ (‘Umar said) ‘By Allah, when I realized that Allah,
the Mighty and Sublime, had opened the chest of Abu Bakr to fighting, then I
knew that it was the truth.’” (Sahih)
3094 It was
narrated from ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Utbah bin Mas’ud that Abu Hurairah
said: “When the Messenger of Allah (saw) died and Abu Bakr (was appointed
Khalifah) after him, and some of the ‘Arabs disbelieved, ‘Umar, may Alla be
pleased with him, said: ‘O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the people when the
Messenger of Allah (saw) said: I have been commanded to fight the people until
they say La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah).
Whoever says La ilaha illallah, his life and his property are safe from me,
except for its right, and his reckoning will be with Allah?’” Abu Bakr, may
Allah be pleased with him, said: “I will surely fight those who separate prayer
and Zakah, for Zakah is what is due on wealth. By Allah, if they withhold from
me a small she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (saw) I
will fight them for withholding it.’ (‘Umar said) ‘By Allah, when I realized
that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, had opened the chest of Abu Bakr to
fighting, then I knew that it was the truth.’” The wording is that of Ahmad.
(Sahih)
3095 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “When Abu Bakr mobilized to fight them, ‘Umar
said: ‘O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah
(saw) said: “I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha
illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah). Whoever says La ilaha
illallah, his life and his property are safe from me, except for its right, and
his reckoning will be with Allah?’” Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him,
said: ‘By Allah, I will surely fight those who separate prayer and Zakah, for
Zakah is what is due on wealth. By Allah, if they withhold from me a small
she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (saw) I will fight
them for withholding it.’ (‘Umar said) ‘By Allah, when I realized that Allah,
the Most High, had opened the chest of Abu Bakr to fighting them, then I knew
that it was the truth.’” (Sahih)
3096 It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “When the Messenger of Allah (saw) died,
some of the ‘Arabs apostatized. ‘Umar said: ‘O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the
‘Arabs?’ Abu Bakr (ra) said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: I have been
commanded to fight the people until they testify that La ilaha illallah (there
is none worthy of worship except Allah) and that I am the Messenger ofAllah,
and establish prayer and pay Zakah?’ By Allah, if they withhold from me a small
she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (saw) I will fight
them for withholding it.’ (‘Umar said) ‘By Allah, when I realized that (Abu)
Bakr was confident about this idea. Then I knew that this was the truth.’”
(Sahih)
Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: ‘Imran Al-Qattan is
not strong in Hadith, and this narration is a mistake. The one that is before
it is the correct narration of Az-Zuhri, from ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Abdullah bin
‘Utbah, from Abu Hurairah.
3097 Abu
Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “I have been
commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah (there is none
worthy of worship except Allah). Whoever says it, his life and his property are
safe from me, except for its right, and his reckoning will be with Allah.”
(Sahih)
3098 It was
narrated from Anas that the Prophet (saw) said: “Strive against the idolaters
with your wealth, your hands and your tongues.”* (Da’if)
*Its chain has defects while its meaning is supported by
other chains.
3099 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “Whoever dies without
having fought or having thought of fighting, he dies on one of the branches of
hypocrisy.” (Sahih)
3100 Abu
Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘By the One in Whose
hand is my soul, were it not for the fact that there are some believing men who
would not feel happy to stay behind (when I go out on a campaign) and I do not
have the means to provide them with mounts (so that they can join me), I would
not have stayed behind from any campaign or battle in the cause of Allah. By
the One in Whose hand is my soul, I wish that I could be killed in the cause of
Allah, then brought back to life, then be killed, then be brought back to life,
then be killed then be brought back to like, then be killed.’” (Sahih)
3101 It was
narrated that Sahl bin Sa’d said: “I saw Marwan bin Al-Hakam sitting and I came
and sat with him. He told us that Zaid bin Thabit told him, then the following
was revealed to Allah’s Messenger (saw): (Not equal are those of the believers
who sit (at home) and those who strive hard and fight in the cause of Allah),
then Ibn Umm Maktum came when he was dictating it to me (Zaid), and said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah! If I were able to go for Jihad I would go out for Jihad.’
Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed to him – while his thigh was
against mine, and became so heavy that I thought my thigh would break, until
(the revelation) stopped - : ‘Except those who are disabled (by injury or are
blind or lame).’”[4:95] (Sahih)
Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: This ‘Abdur-Rahman
bin Ishaq is tolerable, while ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Ishaq, from whom reports ‘Ali
bin Mushir, Abu Mu’awiyah, and ‘Abdul-Wahid bin Ziyad from An-Nu’man bin Sa’d –
he is not trustworthy.
3102 It was
narrated that Ibn Shihab said: “Sahl bin Sa’d said: ‘I saw Marwan sitting in
the Masjid so I sent and sat beside him, and he told us that Zaid bin Thabit
had told him, that the Messenger of Allah (saw) dictated to him the words: [Not
equal are those of the believers who sit (at home) and those who strive hard
and fight in the cause of Allah]. Then Ibn Umm Maktum came to him while he was
dictating it to me (Zaid) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! If I were able to go
for Jihad I would go out for Jihad.’ But he was a blind man. Then Allah
revealed to His Messenger (saw) – while his thigh was against my thigh, and (it
became so heavy that) I though my thigh would break, then it was lifted from
him, and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: ‘Except those who are
disabled (by injury or are blind or lame).’”[4:95] (Sahih)
3103 It was
narrated from Al-Bara’ that the Prophet (saw) said: “Bring me a shoulder blade
of a camel, or a tablet, and write: Not equal are those of the believers who
sit (at home).”[4:95] ‘Amr bin Umm Maktum was behind him and he said: “Is there
a concession for me?” Then the following was revealed: “Except those who are
disabled (by injury or are blind or lame.)’” (Sahih)
3104 It was
narrated that Al-Bara’ said: “When the following was revealed: ‘Not equal are
those of the believers who sit (at home),’[4:95] Ibn Umm Maktum, who was blind,
came and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what about me? I am blind.’ He said: ‘He
did not leave before the following was revealed: Except those who are disabled
(by injury or are blind or lame).’”[4:95] (Sahih)
3105 It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr said: “A man came to the Messenger of Allah
(saw) and asked him for permission to go for Jihad. He said: ‘Are your parents
alive?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Then strive for their sake.’” (Sahih)
3106 It was
narrated from Mu’awiyah bin Jahimah As-Sulami, that Jahimah came to the Prophet
(saw) and said: “O Messenger of Allah! I want to go out and fight (in Jihad)
and I have come to ask your advice.” He said: “Do you have a mother?” He said:
“Yes.” He said: “Then stay with her, for Paradise is beneath her feet.” (Sahih)
3107 It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that a man came to the Messenger of Allah
(saw) and said: “O Messenger of Allah! Which of the people is best?” He said:
“One who strives with himself and his wealth in the cause of Allah.” He said:
“Then who, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “Then a believer (isolating himself)
in one of the mountain passes, who fears Allah and spares the people his evil.”
(Sahih)
3108 It was
narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: “In the year of Tabuk, the Messenger
of Allah (saw) addressed the people, while leaning against his mount. He said:
‘Shall I not tell you of the best of the people and the worst of the people?
Among the best of the people is a man who strives in the cause of Allah on the
back of his horse, or on the back of his camel, or on his own two feet, until
death comes to him. And among the worst of the people, is an immoral man
(Fajir) who reads the Book of Allah but he does not refrain from doing anything
bad because of it.’” (Hasan)
3109 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “No man who weeps for fear of Allah will be
touched by the Fire until the milk goes back into the udders. And the dust (of
Jihad) in the cause of Allah, and the smoke of Hell, will never be combined in
the nostrils of a Muslim.” (Sahih)
3110 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “No man will enter the
Fire who weeps for fear of Allah, Most High, until the milk goes back into the
udders. And the dust (of Jihad) in the cause of Allah, and the smoke of Hell
will never be combined.” (Sahih)
3111 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Two will
never be gathered together in the Fire: A Muslim who killed a disbeliever then
tried his best and did not deviate. And two will never be gathered together in
the lungs of a believer: Dust in the cause of Allah, and the odor of Hell. And
two will never be gathered in the heart of a slave: Faith and envy.” (Hasan)
3112 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘The dust
in the cause of Allah and the smoke of Hell will never be combined in the lungs
of a slave, and stinginess and faith can never be combined in a slave’s
heart.’” (Hasan)
3113 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “The dust in the cause
of Allah and the smoke of Hell will never be combined in a man’s face, and
stinginess and faith can never be combined in a slave’s heart.” (Hasan)
3114 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘The dust
in the cause of Allah and the smoke of Hell will never be combined in a slave’s
lungs, and stinginess and faith can never be combined in a slave’s heart.’”
(Hasan)
3115 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “The dust in the cause
of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and the smoke of Hell will never be combined
in the nostrils of a Muslim.” (Hasan)
3116 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘The dust
in the cause of Allah and the smoke of Hell will never be combined in the
nostrils of a Muslim, and stinginess and faith will never be combined in a
Muslim man’s heart.’” (Hasan)
3117 It was
narrated from Abu Al-‘Ala’ bin Al-Lajlaj that he heard Abu Hurairah say: “Allah
will never combine the dust in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and
the smoke of Hell, in the lungs of a Muslim man, and Allah will never combine
faith in Allah, and stinginess in the heart of a Muslim man.” (Hasan)
3118 Yazid bin
Abi Mariam said: “Abayah bin Rafi’ met me when I was walking to Friday prayers,
and he said: ‘Rejoice, for these steps you are taking are in the cause of
Allah. I heard Abu ‘Abs say: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: Anyone whose
feet become dusty in the cause of Allah, he will be forbidden to the Fire.’”
(Sahih)
3119 Abu ‘Ali
At-Tujibi (said) that he heard Abu Raihanah say: “I heard the Messenger of
Allah (saw) say: ‘The eye that stays awake in the cause of Allah will be
forbidden to the Fire.’” (Hasan)
3120 It was
narrated that Sahl bin Sa’d said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Going
out before noon or after noon, in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime,
is better than this world and everything in it.’” (Sahih)
3121 It was
narrated from Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman Al-Hubuli that he heard Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari
say: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Going out before noon and after noon,
in the cause of Allah, is better than everything on which the sun rises and
sets.’” (Sahih)
3122 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “There are three, all
of whom have a promise of help from Allah: ‘The Mujahid who strives in the
cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime; the man who gets married, seeking to
keep himself chaste; and the slave who has a contract of manumission and wants
to buy his freedom.’” (Hasan)
3123 Abu
Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘The guests of Allah, the
Mighty and Sublime, are three: The warrior, the pilgrim performing Hajj, and
the pilgrim performing ‘Umrah.’” (Sahih)
3124 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Allah, the
Mighty and Sublime, has guaranteed to the one who strives in His cause, only
going out for Jihad in His cause, and believing in His Word, that He will admit
him to Paradise, or bring him back to his home from which he emerged, with
whatever he has earned or reward, or spoils of war.” (Sahih)
3125 Abu
Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘Allah has
guaranteed: ‘For the one who goes out in the cause of Allah, and nothing makes
him do that except faith in Me, and Jihad in My cause – that He will admit him
to Paradise whether he is killed or he dies, or He will return him to his home
from which he departed with whatever he has earned of reward or spoils of
war.’” (Hasan)
3126 Abu
Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘The parable of
Mujahid (who strives in the cause of Allah) – and Allah knows best who strives
in the cause of Allah – is that of one who fasts and prays Qiyam (continually).
Allah has promised Mujahid (who strives in His cause), that He will either
cause him to die and admit him to Paradise, or, He will bring him back safely
whatever he has earned of reward or spoils of war.’” (Sahih)
3127 ‘Abdullah
bin ‘Amr said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘There is no raiding
party that goes out in the cause of Allah and acquires some spoils of war, but
they have been given two-thirds of their reward in this world instead of in the
Hereafter, and there remains one-third (in the Hereafter). And if they do not
acquire any spoils of war, then all of their reward (will come in the
Hereafter).’” (Sahih)
3128 It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar, from the Prophet (saw), of what he related from his
Lord, the Mighty and Sublime: “Any of My slaves who goes out as a Mujahid
striving in the cause of Allah, seeking My pleasure, I guarantee that I will
bring him back with whatever he has earned as reward or spoils of war, and if I
take his (soul) I will forgive him and have mercy on him.” (Sahih)
3129 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say:
‘The parable of a Mujahid who strives in the cause of Allah – and Allah knows
best who strives in His cause – is that of one who fasts, prays Qiyam, focuses
with proper humility, bows and prostrates.’” (Sahih)
3130 Abu
Hurairah said: “A man came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and said: ‘Tell me
of an action that is equal to Jihad.’ He said: ‘I cannot. When the Mujahid goes
out, can you enter the Masjid and stand in prayer and never rest, and fast and
never break your fast?’ He said: ‘Who can do that?’” (Sahih)
3131 It was
narrated from Abu Dharr that he asked the Prophet of Allah (saw) which deed was
best. He said: “Belief in Allah and Jihad in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and
Sublime.” (Sahih)
3132 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “A man asked the Messenger of Allah (saw)
which deed is best. He said: ‘Faith in Allah.’ He said: ‘Then what?’ He said:
‘Jihad in the cause of Allah.’ He said: ‘Then what?’ He said: ‘Hajjun
Mabrur.’”* (Sahih)
*Hajj, that is accepted, or free of sin.
3133 It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “O
Abu Sa’eed! Whoever is content with Allah as lord, Islam as his religion and
Muhammad as Prophet, then he is guaranteed Paradise.” Abu Sa’eed found this
amazing and said: “Say it to me again, O Messenger of Allah.” So he did that,
then the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “And there is something else by means
of which a person may be raised one hundred degrees in Paradise, each of which is
like that which is between the Heaven and the Earth.” He said: “What is it, O
Messenger of Allah?” He said: “Jihad in the cause of Allah, Jihad in the cause
of Allah.” (Sahih)
3134 It was
narrated that Abu Ad-Darda’ said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Whoever
establishes Salah, pays Zakah, and dies not associating anything with Allah, he
has a right from Allah the Mighty and Sublime, that He will forgive him,
whether he emigrated, or died in his birthplace.’ We said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah! Shall we not tell the people about it so that they may rejoice?’ He
said: ‘In Paradise there are one hundred levels, (the distance) between each
two of which is like (the distance) between the Heaven and the Earth; Allah has
prepared them for the Mujahidun who strive in His cause. Were it not that it
would be too difficult for the believers and I cannot find mounts for them –
and they do not like to stay behind if I go out (on a campaign) – I would not
have stayed behind from any expedition. I wish that I could be killed then
brought back to life, then killed again.’” (Hasan)
3135 It was
narrated from ‘Amr bin Malik Al-Janbi that he heard Fadalah bin ‘Ubaid say: “I
heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘I am a Za’im – and the Za’im is the
guarantor – for the one who believes in me and accepts Islam, and emigrates: A
house on the outskirts of Paradise and a house in the middle of Paradise. And I
am a guarantor, for the one who believes in me and accepts Islam, and strives
in the cause of Allah: A house on the outskirts of Paradise and a house in the
middle of Paradise and a house in the highest chambers of Paradise. Whoever
does that and seeks goodness wherever it is, and voids evil wherever it is, may
die wherever he wants to die.’” (Hasan)
3136 It was
narrated that Sabrah bin Abi Fakih said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw)
say: ‘The Shaitan sits in the paths of the son of Adam. He sits waiting for
him, in the path of Islam, and he says: Will you accept Islam, and leave your
religion, and the religion of your forefathers? But he disobeys him and accepts
Islam. Then he sits waiting for him, on the path to emigration, and he says:
Will you emigrate and leave behind your land and sky? The one who emigrates is
like a horse tethered to a peg. But he disobeys him and emigrates. Then he
sits, waiting for him, on the path to Jihad, and he says: Will you fight in
Jihad when it will cost you your life and your wealth? You will fight and be
killed, and your wife will remarry, and your wealth will be divided. But he
disobeys him and fights in Jihad.’ The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Whoever
does that, then he has a right from Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, that He will
admit him to Paradise. Whoever is killed, he has a right from Allah, the Mighty
and Sublime, that He will admit him to Paradise. If he is drowned, he has a
right from Allah that He will amit him to Paradise, or whoever is thrown by his
mount and his neck is broken, he has a right from Allah, that He will admit him
to Paradise.’” (Hasan)
3137 Abu
Hurairah used to narrate that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Whoever
spends on a pair (of things) in the cause of Allah, he will be called in
Paradise: ‘O slave of Allah, here is prosperity.’ Whoever is one of those who
pray, he will be called from the gate of Paradise. Whoever is one of those who
participated in Jihad, he will be called from the gate of Paradise. Whoever is
one of those who gave charity, he will be called from the gate of Paradise.
Whoever is one of those who fasts, he will be called from the gate of
Ar-Rayyan.” Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said: “O Messenger of Allah! No distress, or
need will befall the one who is called from those gates. Will there be anyone
who will be called from all these gates?” The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
“Yes, and I hope that you will be one of them.” (Sahih)
3138 Abu Musa
Al-Ash’ari said: “A Bedouin came tothe Messenger of Allah (saw) and said: ‘A
man fights for fame, or he fights for the spoils of war, or he fights to show
off. Who is the one who is fighting in the cause of Allah?’ He said: ‘The one
who fights so that the word of Allah will be supreme is the one who is fighting
in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.’” (Sahih)
3139 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah, that one of the people of Ash-Sham said to him: “O
Shaikh, tell me of a Hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (saw).”
(He said: “Yes; I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw)) say: ‘The first of people
for whom judgement will be passed on the Day of Resurrection are three. A man
who was martyred. He will be brought and Allah will remind him of His blessings
and he will acknowledge them. He will say: What did you do with them? He will
say: I fought for Your sake until I was martyred. He will say: You are lying.
You fought so that it would be said that so-and-so is brave, and it was said.
Then He will order that he be dragged on his face and thrown into the Fire. And
(the second will be) a man who acquired knowledge and taught others, and read
Qur’an. He will be brought, and Allah will remind him of His blessings, and he
will acknowledge them. He will say: What did you do with them? He will say: I
acquired knowledge and taught others, and read the Qur’an for Your sake. He
will say: You are lying. You acquired knowledge so that it would be said that you
were a scholar; and you read Qur’an, so that it would be said that you were a
reciter, and it was said. Then He will order that he be dragged on his face and
thrown into the Fire. And (the third will be) a man whom Allah made rich and
gave him all kinds of wealth. He will be brought and Allah will remind him of
His blessings, and he will acknowledge them. He will say: What did you do with
them? He will say: I did not leave any way that You like wealth to be spent –
Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: I did not understand “what You like” as I
wanted to – “but I spent it.” He will say: “You are lying. You spent it so that
it would be said that he was generous, and it was said.” Then He will order
that he be dragged on his face and thrown into the Fire.’” (Sahih)
3140 It was
narrated from Yahya bin Al-Walid bin ‘Ubaidah bin As-Samit that his grandfather
said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Whoever fights in the cause of Allah
intending only to get an ‘Iqal*, he will have what he intended.” (Hasan)
*Al-‘Iqal: The rope by which the camel’s fore-leg is
fettered. (As-Sindi). Some of them will say that it is symbol of wealth in
general.
3141 It was
narrated from ‘Ubadah bin As-Samit that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
“Whoever fights seeking only an ‘Iqal, then he will have what he intended.”
(Hasan)
3142 It was
narrated that Abu ‘Umamah Al-Bahili said: “A man came to the Prophet (saw) and
said: ‘What do you think of a man who fights seeking reward and fame – what
will he have?’ The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘He will not have anything.’
He repeated it three times, and the Prophet (saw) said to him: ‘He will not
have anything.’ Then he said: ‘Allah does not accept any deed, except that
which is purely for Him, and seeking His Face.’” (Hasan)
3143 Mu’adh
bin Jabal said that he heard the Prophet (saw) say: “Whoever fights in the
cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, for the length of time between two
milkings of a she-camel, Paradise is guaranteed for him. Whoever asks Allah to
be killed (in Jihad) sincerely, from his heart, then dies or is killed, he will
have the reward of a martyr. Whoever is wounded or injured in the cause of
Allah, it will come on the Day of Resurrection bleeding the most it ever bled,
but its color will be like saffron, and its fragrance will be like musk.
Whoever is wounded in the cause of Allah, upon him is the seal of the martyrs.”
(Sahih)
3144 It was
narrated from Shurahbil bin As-Samit that he said to ‘Amr bin ‘Abasah: “O ‘Amr!
Tell us a Hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (saw).” He said: “I
heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘Whoever develops one gray hair in the
cause of Allah, Most Hight, it will be light for him on the Day of
Resurrection. Whoever shoots an arrow in the cause of Allah, Most High, whether
it reaches the enemy or not, it will be as if he freed a slave. Whoever frees a
believing slave, it will be a ransom for him from the Fire, limb by limb.’”
(Sahih)
3145 It was
narrated that Abu Najih As-Sulami said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw)
say: ‘Whoever shoots an arrow in the cause of Allah and it hits the target, it
will raise him one level in Paradise.’ That day I shot sixteen arrows that hit
their targets.” He said: “And I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say:
‘Whoever shoots an arrow in the cause of Allah, it is equal to the reward of
freeing a slave.’” (Sahih)
3146 It wa
narrated that Shurahbil bin As-Simt said to Ka’b bin Murrah: “O Ka’b! Tell us a
Hadith from the Messenger of Allah (saw) and be careful.” He said: “I heard him
say: ‘Whoever develops one gray hair in Islam, in the cause of Allah, it will
be light for him on the Day of Resurrection.’” He said to him: “Tell us about
the Prophet (saw) and be careful.” He said: “I heard him say: ‘Shoot, and
whoever hits the enemy with an arrow, Allah will raise him one degree in status
thereby.’” Ibn An-Nahham said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what is a degree?’ He
said: ‘It is not like the doorstep of your mother; rather (the distance)
between two degrees is (that of) a hundred years.’” (Da’if)
3147 It was
narrated that Shurahbil bin As-Simt said: “I said: ‘O ‘Amr bin ‘Abasah! Tell us
a Hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (saw) without forgetting or
omitting anything.’ He said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: Whoever
shoots an arrow in the cause of Allah, and it reaches the enemy, whether it
misses or hits, it will be as if he freed a slave. Whoever frees a believing
slave, that will be a ransom for him, limb by limb, from the Fire of Hell.
Whoever develops a gray hair in the cause of Allah, it will be a light for him
on the Day of Resurrection.” (Sahih)
3148 It was
narrated from ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir that the Prophet (saw) said: “Allah, the Mighty
and Sublime, will admit three people into Paradise for one arrow: The one who
makes it, intending it to be used for a good cause, the one who shoots it, and
the one who passes it to him.” (Hasan)
3149 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “No one is wounded in
the cause of Allah – and Allah knows best who is wounded in His cause – but he
will come on the Day of Resurrection with his wounds bleeding the color of
blood, but with the fragrance of musk.” (Sahih)
3150 It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Tha’labah said: “The Messenger of Alla (saw) said:
‘Wrap them up with their blood, for there is no wound incurred in the cause of
Allah, but he will come on the Day of Resurrection bleeding with the color of
blood, but its fragrance will be that of musk.’” (Sahih)
3151 It was
narrate that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said: “On the day of Uhud, the people ran
away, and the Messenger of Allah (saw) was in one position among twelve men of
the Ansar, one of whom was Talhah bin ‘Ubaidullah. He said: ‘Who will face the
people?’ Talhah said: ‘I will.’ The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Stay where
you are.’ One of the Ansar said: ‘I will, O Messenger of Allah (saw).’ He said:
‘You (go ahead).’ So he fought until he was killed. Then he turned and saw the
idolaters. He said: ‘Who will face the people?’ Talhah said: ‘I will.’ The
Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Stay where you are.’ One of the Ansar said: ‘I
will, O Messenger of Allah (saw).’ He said: ‘You (go ahead).’ So he fought
until he was killed. This carried on, and each man of the Ansar went out to
face them and fought like the one before him, and was killed, until only the
Messenger of Allah (saw) and Talhah bin ‘Ubaidullah were left. The Messenger of
Allah (saw) said: ‘Who will face the
people?’ Talhah said: ‘I will.’ So Talhah fought like the eleven before him,
until his hand was struck, and his fingers were cut off, and he exclaimed in
pain. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘if you had said Bismillah (in the
Name of Allah), the angels would have lifted you up with the people looking
on.’ Then Allah drove back the idolaters.” (Hasan)
3152 Salamah
bin Al-Akwa’ said: “On the day of Khaibar, my brother fought fiercely alongside
the Messenger of Allah (saw), then his sword recoiled upon him and killed him.
The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (saw), complaining about that, said:
‘A man has died by his own weapon.’” Salamah said: “The Messenger of Allah
(saw) returned from Khaibar and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, do you permit me
to recite some lines of Rajaz verse to you?’ The Messenger of Allah (saw) gave
him permission but ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
“Think what you are saying.” “I said:
‘By Allah, if Allah had not guided us we would not have
been guided
We would not have given in charity nor prayed’
The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘You have spoken the
truth.’
(I continuedJ
‘Send down tranquility upon us,
And make us steadfast when we meet the enemy.
For the idolaters have transgressed against us.’
When I completed by Rajaz verse, the Messenger of Allah
(saw) said: ‘Who said that?’ I said: ‘My brother.’ The Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: ‘May Allah have mercy on him.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, some people
are afraid to offer the (funeral) prayer for him, and they are saying that he
is a man who died by his own weapon.’ The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘He
died striving as a Mujahid.’” Ibn Shihab said: “Then I asked a son of Salamah
bin Al-Akwa’, and he narrated a similar report to me from his father, except
that he said: ‘When I said: Some people are afraid to offer the (funeral)
prayer for him, the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: They lied. He died striving
as a Mujahid, and he will have a two-fold reward, and he gestured with two of
his fingers.’” (Sahih)
3153 It was narrated
from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “Were it not that it would be
too difficult for my Ummah, I would not have stayed behind from any expedition.
But they could not find mounts, and i could not find mounts for them, and it
would be too hard for them to stay behind when I went out. And I wish that I
could be killed in the cause of Allah, then brought back to life, then killed,
then brought back to life, then killed,” three times. (Sahih)
3154 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘By
the One in Whose hand is my soul, were it not that some men among the believers
would not like to stay behind when I went out (to fight), and I could not find
any mounts for them, I would not have stayed behind from any campaign that
fought in the cause of Allah. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I wish that
I could be killed in the cause of Allah, then brought back to life, then
killed, then be brought back to life, then killed.’” (Sahih)
3155 It was
narrated from Ibn Abi ‘Amirah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:”There is
no Muslim soul among the people that is taken by its Lord and wishes it could
come back to you, even if it had this world and everything in it, except a
martyr.” Ibn Abi ‘Amirah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘If I were
to be killed in the cause of Allah, that would be dearer to me than if all the
people of the deserts and the cities were to be mine.’”* (Sahih)
*Meaning: If they were all my slaves and I set them free.
3156 It was
narrated that ‘Amr said: “I heard Jabir say: ‘A man said on the day of Uhud: If
I am killed in the cause of Allah, where do you think I will be? He said: In
Paradise. He threw down some dates that were in his hand and fought until he
was killed.’” (Sahih)
3157 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “A man came to the Prophet (saw) while he was
delivering a Khutbah from the Minbar, and he said: ‘If I fight in the cause of
Allah with patience and seeking reward, facing the enemy and not running away,
do you think that Allah will forgive my sins?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ Then he fell
silent for a while. Then he said: ‘Where is the one who was asking just now?’
The man said: ‘Here I am.’ He said: ‘What did you say?’ He said: ‘I said: If I
fight in the cause of Allah with patience and seeking reward, facing the enemy
and not running away, do you think that Allah will forgive my sins?’ He said:
‘Yes, except for debt. Jibril told me that just now.’” (Sahih)
3158 It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah that his father said: “A man came to
the Messenger of Allah (saw) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, if I am killed in
the cause of Allah with patience and seeking reward, facing the enemy and not
running away, do you think that Allah will forgive my sins?’ The Messenger of
Allah (saw) said: ‘Yes.’ When the man turned away, the Messenger of Allah (saw)
called him back and said: ‘What did you say?’ He repeated his question, and the
Messenger of Allah (saw) told him: ‘Yes, except debt. Jibril told me.’” (Sahih)
3159 It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah that he heard Abu Qatadah narrate from
the Messenger of Allah (saw), that he stood up among them and said that Jihad
in the cause of Allah and belief in Allah are the best of deeds. Then a man
stood up and said: “O Messenger of Allah, if I am killed in the cause of Allah,
will Allah forgive my sins?” The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Yes, if you
are killed in the cause of Allah, and you are patient and seek reward, and you
are facing the enemy, not running away – except for debt. Jibril (peace be upon
him) told me that.” (Sahih)
3160 It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah that his father said: “A man came to
the Prophet (saw) when he was on the Minbar and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, do
you think that if I wied this sword of mine in the cause of Allah, with
patience and seeking reward, facing the enemy, and not running away, will Allah
forgive my sins?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ When he turned away, he called him back and
said: ‘Jibril says: unles you are in debt.’” (Sahih)
3161 It was
narrated from Kathir bin Murrah that ‘Ubadah bin As-Samit told them that the
Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “There is no soul on Earth that dies, and is in
a good position before Allah, that would like to come back to you, even if it
had all this world, except the one who is killed (in the cause of Allah); he
wishes that he could come back and be killed again.” (Hasan)
3162 It was
narrated that Anas said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘A man from among
the people of Paradise will be brought and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will
say: “O son of Adam, how do you find your place (in Paradise)?” He would say:
“O Lord, it is the best place.” He will say: “Ask the wish (for whatever you
want).” He would say: “I ask You to send me back to the world so that I may be
killed in Your cause ten times” – because of what he sees of the virtue of
martyrdom.’” (Sahih)
3163 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “The martyr
does not feel the pain of being killed, except as any one of you feels a
pinch.” (Da’if)
3164 Sahl bin
Abi Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif narrated from his father, from his grandfather,
that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Whoever asks Allah, the Mighty and
Sublime, sincerely for martyrdom, Allah will cause him to reach the status of
the martyrs even if he dies in his bed.” (Sahih)
3165 It was
narrated from ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “There
are five things, whoever dies of any of them is a martyr. The one who is killed
in the cause of Allah is a martyr; the one who drowns in the cause of Allah is
a martyr; the one who dies of an abdominal complaint in the cause of Allah is a
martyr; the one who dies of the plague in the cause of Allah is a martyr; and
the woman who dies in childbirth in the cause of Allah is a martyr.” (Sahih)
3166 It was
narrated from Al-‘Irbad bin Sariyah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
“The martyrs and those who died in their beds referred a dispute to our Lord
concerning those who died of the plague. The martyrs said: ‘Our brothers were
killed as we were killed.’ And those who died in their beds said: ‘Our brothers
died on their beds as we died.’ Our Lord said: ‘Look at their wounds; if their
wounds are like the wounds of those who were killed then they are of them and
belong with them.’ And their wounds were like their (the martyrs’) wounds.”
(Hasan)
3167 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “Allah, the Mighty and
Sublime, likes it when there are two men, one of whom killed the other, then
they both enter Paradise.” And another time he said: “He laughs at two men, one
of whom killed the other, then they both entered Paradise.” (Sahih)
3168 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Allah
laughs at two men, one of whom killed the other but they both entered Paradise.
The first one fought in the cause of Allah and was killed, then Allah accepted
the repentance of the one who killed him, and he fought and was martyred.”
(Sahih)
3169 It was
narrated from Salman Al-Khair that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Whoever
guards Ribat (the frontier) for one day and one night, will be given a reward
like that for fasting and praying Qiyam for a month, and whoever dies at Ribat
(guarding the frontier) will be rewarded, and he will be given provision, and
he will be kept safe from Al-Fattan.”* (Sahih)
*According to As-Sindi, the preferred pronunciation is
Al-Fattan, plural of Fatan referring to Al-Munkar and An-Nakir, while Al-Fattan
would refer to Ash-Shaitan or the like, among the punishment of the grave, or,
the angels of chastisement.
3170 It was
narrated that Salman said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘Whoever
guards Ribat (the frontier) in the cause of Allah for one day and one night, he
will have (a reward) like that of fasting and praying Qiyam for a month. If he
dies he will continue to receive reward for what he did, and he will be kept
safe from Al-Fattan, and he will be given provision.’” (Sahih)
3171 It was
narrated from Zuhrah bin Ma’bad: “Abu Salih, the freed slave of ‘Uthman, said:
‘i heard ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say:
Ribat (guarding the frontier) for one day in the cause of Allah is better in
rank than a thousand days spent within the residence.’” (Sahih)
3172 It was
narrated that Abu Salih, the freed slave of ‘Uthman, said: “Uthman bin ‘Affan
said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: A day in the cause of Allah is
better than a thousand days doing anything else.’” (Sahih)
3173 It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “When the Messenger of Allah (saw) went to Quba’
he used to come to Umm Haram bint Milhan and she would feed him. Umm Haram was
married to ‘Ubadah bin As-Samit. The Messenger of Allah (saw) entered upon her
and she fed him and checked his head for lice. The Messenger of Allah (saw)
fell asleep, then he woke up smiling. She said: ‘What is making you smile, O
Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘Some people of my Ummah were shown to me,
fighting in the cause of Allah and riding across the sea like kings on
thrones.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them.’
So the Messenger of Allah (saw) prayed for her, then he slept again.’” (One of
the narrators) Al-Harith, said (in his narration): “He slept then he woke up
smiling. I said to him: ‘What is making you smile, O Messenger of Allah?’ He
said: ‘Some people of my Ummah were shwon to me, fighting in the cause of Allah
and riding across the sea like kings on thrones,’ as he had said the first
time. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them.’ He
said: ‘You will be one of the first.’ And she traveled by sea at the time of
Mu’awiyah, then she fell from her mount when she came out of the sea and died.”
(Sahih)
3174 It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that Umm Haram bint Milhan said: “The Messenger of
Allah (saw) came to us and took a nap in our house, then he woke up smiling. I
said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransomed for you, what
has made you smile?’ He said: ‘I saw some people of my Ummah riding on the sea
like kings on thrones.’ I said: ‘Pray to Allah to make me one of them.’ He
said: ‘You will be one of them.’ Then he slept again, and woke up smiling. I
asked him and he said the same thing. I said: ‘Pray to Allah to make me one of
them.’ He said: ‘You will be one of the first.’ Then ‘Ubadah bin As-Samit
married her, and he traveled by sea, and she traveled with him, but when she
came ashore a mule was brought to her and she mounted it, and it threw her off
and broke her neck.” (Sahih)
3175 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) promised us
that we would invade India. If I live to see that, I will sacrifice myself and
my wealth. If I am killed, I will be one of the best martyrs, and if I come
back, I will be Abu Huraira Al-Muharrar."[Al-Muharrar: The one freed (from
the Fire)] (Da'if)
3176 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) promised
that we would invade India. If I live to see that I will sacrifice myself and
my wealth. If I am killed, I will be one of the best of the martyrs, and if I
come back, I will be Abu Huraira Al-Muharrar." (Da'if)
3177 It was
narrated that Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
'There are two groups of my Ummah whom Allah will free from the Fire: The group
that invades India, and the group that will be with 'Isa bin Maryam, peace be
upon him.'" (Hasan)
3178 It was
narrated from Abu Sukainah, a man from among the Muharrarin, that a man among
the Companions of the Prophet (saw) said: “When the Prophet (saw) commanded
them to dig the trench (Al-Khandaq), there was a rock in their way preventing
them from digging. The Messenger of Allah (saw) stood, picked up the pickaxe,
put his Rida’ (upper garment) at the edge of the ditch and said: ‘And the Word
of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can change His
Words. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.’[6:115] One-third of the rock
broke off while Salman Al-Farisi was standing there watching, and there was a
flash of light when the Messenger of Allah (saw) struck (the rock). Then he
struck it again and said: ‘And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in
truth and in justice. None can change His Words. And He is the All-Hearer, the
All-Knower.’ And another third of the rock broke off and there was another
flash of light, which Salman saw. Then he struck (the rock) a third time and
said: ‘And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice.
None can change His Words. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.’ The last
third fell, and the Messenger of Allah (saw) came out, picked up his Rida’ and
sat down. Salman said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, Each time you struck the rock
there was a flash of light.’ The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to him: ‘O
Salman, did you see that?’ He said: ‘Yes, by the One Who sent you with the
truth, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘When I struck the first blow, the
cities of Kisra and their environs were shown to me, and many other cities, and
I saw them with my own eyes.’ Those of his Companions who were present said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to grant us victory and to give us their
lands as spoils of war, and to destroy their lands at our hands.’ So the
Messenger of Allah (saw) prayed for that. (Then he said) ‘Then I struck the
second blow and the cities of Caesar and their environs were shown to me, and I
saw them with my own eyes.’ They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to
grant us victory and to give us their lands as spoils of war, and to destroy
their lands at our hands.’ So the Messenger of Allah (saw) prayed for that.
(Then he said:) ‘Then I struck the third blow and the cities of Ethiopia were
shown to me, and the villages around them, and I saw them with my own eyes.’
But the Messenger of Allah (saw) said at that point: ‘Leave the Ethiopians
alone so long as they leave you alone, and leave the Turks alone so long as
they leave you alone.’” (Hasan)
3179 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “The Hour
will not begin until the Muslims fight the Turks, a people with faces like
hammered shields who wear clothes made of hair and shoes made of hair.” (Sahih)
3180 It was
narrated from Mus’ab bin Sa’d, from his father, that he thought he was better
than other Companions of the Prophet (saw). The Prophet of Allah (saw) said:
“Rather, Allah supports this Ummah because of its weak ones, because of their
supplication, their Salah, and their sincerity.” (Sahih)
3181 It was
narrated from Jubair bin Nufair Al-Hadrami that he heard Abu Ad-Darda’ say: “I
heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘Bring me the weak, for you only
receive provision and Divine support by virtue of your weak ones.’” (Sahih)
3182 It was
narrated from Zaid bin Khalid that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Whoever
equips a warrior in the cause of Allah has fought, and whoever looks after his
family in his absence has fought.” (Sahih)
3183 It was
narrated that Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: ‘Whoever equips a warrior has fought, and whoever looks after his family
in his absence has fought.’” (Sahih)
3184 It was
narrated that Al-Ahnaf bin Qais said: “We set out as pilgrims and came to
Al-Madinah intending to perform Hajj. While we were in our camping place
unloading our mounts, someone came to us and said: ‘The people have gathered in
the Masjid and there is panic.’ So we set out and found the people gathered
around a group in the middle of the Masjid, among whom were ‘Ali, Zubayr,
Talhah and Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas. While we were like that, ‘Uthman, may Allah be
pleased with him, came, wearing a yellow cloak with which he had covered his
head. He said: ‘Is Talhah here? Is Az-Zubair here? Is Sa’d here?’ They said: ‘Yes.’
He said: ‘I adjure you by the One beside Whom there is none worthy of worship,
didn’t the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: Whoever buys the Mirbad*of Banu
so-and-so, Allah will forgive him, and I bought it for twenty or twenty-five
thousand, then I came to the Messenger of Allah (saw0 and told him, and he
said: Add it to our Masjid and the reward for it will be yours?’ They said: ‘By
Allah, yes.’ He said: ‘I adjure you by the One beside Whom there is none worthy
of worship, didn’t the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: Whoever buys the well of
Rumah, Allah will forgive him, so I bought it for such and such an amount, then
I came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and told him, and he said: Give it to
provide water for the Muslims, and the reward for it will be yours?’ They said:
‘By Allah, yes.’ He said: ‘I adjure you by the One beside Whom there is none
worthy of worship, didn’t the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: Whoever equips
these (men) – meaning the army of Al-‘Usrah (Tabuk) – Allah will forgive him,
so I equipped them until they were not lacking even a rope or a bridle?’ They
said: ‘By Allah, yes.’ He said: ‘O Allah, bear witness, O Allah, bear witness,
O Allah, bear witness.’” (Hasan)
*Mirbad: A place for drying dates.
3185 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “Whoever spends on a
pair (of things) in the cause of Allah will be called in Paradise: ‘O slave of
Allah, here is prosperity.’ Whoever is one of the people of Salah, he will be
called from the gate of Paradise. Whoever is one of the people of jihad, he
will be called from the gate of Paradise. Whoever is one of the people of
charity, he will be called from the gate of Paradise. Whoever is one of the
people who fast, he will be called from the gate of Ar-Rayyan.” Abu Bakr, may Allah
be pleased with him, said: “O Messenger of Allah, no distress or need will
befall the one who is called from those gates. Will there be anyone who will be
called from all these gates?” The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Yes, and I
hope that you will be one of them.” (Sahih)
3186 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Whoever
spends on a pair (of things) in the cause of Allah, the gatekeepers of Paradise
will call him from the gates of Paradise (saying): O so-and-so, come and
enter!’ Abu Bakr said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, such a person will never perish
or be miserable.’ The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘I hope that you will be
one of them.’” (Sahih)
3187 It was
narrated that Sa’sa’ah bin Mu’awiyah said: “I met Abu Dharr and said: ‘Tell me
a Hadith.’ He said. Yes, the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: There is no Muslim
worshipper who spends from each type of his wealth on a pair (of things) in the
cause of Allah, but the keepers of Paradise will welcome him, all of them
calling him to what they have (of reward).’ I said: “How is that?” He said: “If
it is camels, he gives two, and if it is cows, he gives two.’” (Sahih)
3188 It was
narrated that Khuraim bin Fatik said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
‘Whoever spends in the cause of Allah, it will be recorded for him seven
hundred fold.’” (Sahih)
3189 It was
narrated from Abu Mas’ud that a man gave a bridled camel in charity in the
cause of Allah. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “On the Day of Resurrection
seven hundred bridled camels will come to you.” (Sahih)
3190 It was
narrated from Mu’adh bin Jabal that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
“Campaigns are of two types. As for the one who seeks the Face of Allah, obeys
the imam, spends what is precious to him, is easy-going with his companion and
avoids mischief, when he is asleep and when he is awake, it will all bring
reward. But as for the one who fights to show off, and he disobeys the imam and
does mischief in the land, he will not come back the same as when he left.”*
(Sahih)
*It will not simply be the case that he comes back with
no good deeds to his credit, rather he will have a number of evil deeds on his
record.
3191 It was
narrated from Sulaiman bin Buraidah that his father said: “The Messenger of
Allah (saw) said: ‘The sanctity of the wives of the Mujahidun to those who stay
behind is like the sanctity of their mothers. There is no man who takes on the
responsibility of looking after the wife of one of the Mujahidun and betrays
him with her but he (the betrayer) will be made to stand before him on the Day
of Resurrection and he will take whatever he wants of his (good) deeds. So what
do you think?’” (Sahih)
3192 It was
narrated from Sulaiman bin Buraidah, from his father, that the Messenger of
Allah (saw) said: “The sanctity of the wives of the Mujahidun to those who stay
behind is like the sanctity of their mothers. If he takes on the responsibility
of looking after his wife then betrays him, it will be said to him on the Day
of Resurrection: ‘This one betrayed you with your wife, so take whatever you
want of his good deeds.’ So what do you think?” (Sahih)
3193 It was
narrated from Ibn Buraidah, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: “The sanctity of the wives of the Mujahidun to those who stay behind is
like the sanctity of their mothers. There is no man among those who stay behind
who takes on the responsibility of looking after the wife of one of the
Mujahidun (and betrays him) but he (the betrayer) will be made to stand before
him on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said: ‘O so-and-so, this is
so-and-so, take whatever you want from his good deeds.’” Then the Prophet (saw)
turned to his Companions and said: “What do you think: Will he leave him any of
his good deeds?” (Sahih)
3194 It was
narrated that Anas said: “The Messenger of Allah 9saw) said: ‘Strive in Jihad
with your hands, your tongues and your wealth.’” (Da’if)

Allah (saw) commanded that snakes be killed and he said: “Whoever fears their
vengeance is not one of us.” (Da’if)
3196 It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abdullah bin Jabr, from his father, that the
Messenger of Allah (saw) visited Jabr (when he was sick). When he entered he
heard the women crying and saying: “We thought that your death would come when
fighting in the cause of Allah.” He said: “You think that martyrdom only comes
when one is killed in the cause of Allah. In that case your martyrs would be
few. Being killed in the cause of Allah is martyrdom, dying of an abdominal
complaint is martyrdom, being burned to death is martyrdom, being crushed
beneath a falling wall is martyrdom, dying of pleurisy is martyrdom, and the woman
who dies along with her fetus is a martyr.” A man said: “Are you weeping when
the Messenger of Allah (saw) is sitting here?” He said: “Let them be, but if he
dies no one should weep for him.” (Sahih)
3197 It was
narrated from Jabr that he entered with the Messenger of Allah (saw) upon
someone who was dying, and the women were weeping. Jabr said: “Are you weeping
when the Messenger of Allah (saw) is sitting here?” He said: “Let them weep so
long as he is among them, but if he dies no one should weep for him.” (Sahih)
