The obligation of going out for Jihad
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
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)
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ لاَ هِجْرَةَ بَعْدَ الْفَتْحِ وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ وَإِذَا اسْتُنْفِرْتُمْ فَانْفِرُوا
A disbeliever kills a Muslim and later on embraces Islam
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah welcomes two men with a smile; one of
whom kills the other and both of them enter Paradise. One fights in
Allah's Cause and gets killed. Later on Allah forgives the 'killer who
also get martyred (In Allah's Cause)."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ يَضْحَكُ اللَّهُ إِلَى رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتُلُ أَحَدُهُمَا الآخَرَ يَدْخُلاَنِ الْجَنَّةَ يُقَاتِلُ هَذَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْقَاتِلِ فَيُسْتَشْهَدُ
A disbeliever kills a Muslim and later on embraces Islam
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while he was at Khaibar after it had fallen
in the Muslims' hands. I said, "O Allah's Messenger! Give me a share
(from the land of Khaibar)."
One of the sons of Sa'id bin Al-'As said, "O Allah's Messenger! Do not
give him a share." I said, "This is the murderer of Ibn Qauqal." The
son of Said bin Al-As said, "Strange! A Wabr (i.e. guinea pig) who has
come down to us from the mountain of Qaduim (i.e. grazing place of
sheep) blames me for killing a Muslim who was given superiority by
Allah because of me, and Allah did not disgrace me at his hands (i.e.
was not killed as an infidel)." (The sub-narrator said "I do not know
whether the Prophet (ﷺ) gave him a share or not.")
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ بِخَيْبَرَ بَعْدَ مَا افْتَتَحُوهَا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَسْهِمْ لِي فَقَالَ بَعْضُ بَنِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ لاَ تُسْهِمْ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ هَذَا قَاتِلُ ابْنِ قَوْقَلٍ فَقَالَ ابْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَاعَجَبًا لِوَبْرٍ تَدَلَّى عَلَيْنَا مِنْ قَدُومِ ضَأْنٍ يَنْعَى عَلَىَّ قَتْلَ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ أَكْرَمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى يَدَىَّ وَلَمْ يُهِنِّي عَلَى يَدَيْهِ قَالَ فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَسْهَمَ لَهُ أَمْ لَمْ يُسْهِمْ لَهُ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ السَّعِيدِيُّ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّعِيدِيُّ عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ
Whoever preferred Jihad to Saum (fasting)
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
In the life-time of the Prophet, Abu Talha did not fast because of the Jihad, but after the Prophet (ﷺ) died I
never saw him without fasting except on `Id-ul-Fitr and `Id-ul-Aclha.
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ لاَ يَصُومُ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ أَجْلِ الْغَزْوِ فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ أَرَهُ مُفْطِرًا إِلاَّ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ أَوْ أَضْحَى
There are seven martyrs other than killed in Jihad
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Five are regarded as martyrs: They are those who die because of plague,
Abdominal disease, drowning or a falling building etc., and the martyrs in Allah's Cause."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ سُمَىٍّ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ الشُّهَدَاءُ خَمْسَةٌ الْمَطْعُونُ وَالْمَبْطُونُ وَالْغَرِقُ وَصَاحِبُ الْهَدْمِ وَالشَّهِيدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
There are seven martyrs other than killed in Jihad
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Plague is the cause of martyrdom of every Muslim (who dies because of it).
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمٌ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ الطَّاعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ
The Statement of Allah Aza wa'jal: "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home),..."
Narrated Al-Bara:
When the Divine Inspiration: "Those of the believers who sit (at home), was revealed the Prophet (ﷺ) sent
for Zaid (bin Thabit) who came with a shoulder-blade and wrote on it. Ibn Um-Maktum complained
about his blindness and on that the following revelation came: "Not equal are those believers who sit
(at home) except those who are disabled (by injury, or are blind or lame etc.) and those who strive
hard and fight in the Way of Allah with their wealth and lives)." (4.95)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ [ 4 95 95]لاَ يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم زَيْدًا فَجَاءَ بِكَتِفٍ فَكَتَبَهَا وَشَكَا ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ ضَرَارَتَهُ فَنَزَلَتْ [ 4 95 95]لاَ يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ
The Statement of Allah Aza wa'jal: "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home),..."
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`idi:
I saw Marwan bin Al-Hakam sitting in the Mosque. So I came forward and sat by his side. He told us
that Zaid bin Thabit had told him that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had dictated to him the Divine Verse:
"Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of
Allah with their wealth and lives.' (4.95)
Zaid said, "Ibn-Maktum came to the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was dictating to me that very Verse. On that Ibn
Um Maktum said, "O Allah's Messenger! If I had power, I would surely take part in Jihad." He was a
blind man. So Allah sent down revelation to His Apostle while his thigh was on mine and it became
so heavy for me that I feared that my thigh would be broken. Then that state of the Prophet (ﷺ) was over
after Allah revealed "...except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame etc.) (4.95)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَقْبَلْتُ حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمْلَى عَلَيْهِ لاَ يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَجَاءَهُ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَهُوَ يُمِلُّهَا عَلَىَّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَسْتَطِيعُ الْجِهَادَ لَجَاهَدْتُ وَكَانَ رَجُلاً أَعْمَى فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَفَخِذُهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَىَّ حَتَّى خِفْتُ أَنْ تَرُضَّ فَخِذِي ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ [ 4 95 95]غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ
Patience during fighting
Narrated Salim Abu-An-Nadr:
`Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa wrote and I read what he wrote that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When you face
them ( i.e. your enemy) then be patient."
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى كَتَبَ فَقَرَأْتُهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَاصْبِرُوا
Rousing and exhorting people to fight
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went towards the Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and saw the Emigrants and the Ansar digging
in a very cold morning as they did not have slaves to do that for them. When he noticed their fatigue
and hunger he said, "O Allah! The real life is that of the Here-after, (so please) forgive the Ansar and
the Emigrants." In its reply the Emigrants and the Ansar said, "We are those who have given a pledge
of allegiance to Muhammad that we will carry on Jihad as long as we live."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى الْخَنْدَقِ فَإِذَا الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالأَنْصَارُ يَحْفِرُونَ فِي غَدَاةٍ بَارِدَةٍ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ عَبِيدٌ يَعْمَلُونَ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا بِهِمْ مِنَ النَّصَبِ وَالْجُوعِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الْعَيْشَ عَيْشُ الآخِرَهْ فَاغْفِرْ لِلأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ فَقَالُوا مُجِيبِينَ لَهُ نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا مُحَمَّدًا عَلَى الْجِهَادِ مَا بَقِينَا أَبَدًا
The digging of the Khandaq (trench)
Narrated Anas:
The Emigrants and the Ansar started digging the trench around Medina carrying the earth on their
backs and saying, "We are those who have given a pledge of allegiance to Muhammad that we will I
carry on Jihad as long as we live." The Prophet (ﷺ) kept on replying, "O Allah, there is no good except the
good of the Hereafter; so confer Your Blessings on the Ansar and the Emigrants."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ جَعَلَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالأَنْصَارُ يَحْفِرُونَ الْخَنْدَقَ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَيَنْقُلُونَ التُّرَابَ عَلَى مُتُونِهِمْ وَيَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا مُحَمَّدًا عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ مَا بَقِينَا أَبَدًا وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُجِيبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لاَ خَيْرَ إِلاَّ خَيْرُ الآخِرَهْ فَبَارِكْ فِي الأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ
The digging of the Khandaq (trench)
Narrated Al-Bara:
The Prophet (ﷺ) went on carrying (i.e. the earth) and saying, "Without You (O Allah!) we would have got
no guidance."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَنْقُلُ وَيَقُولُ لَوْلاَ أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا
The digging of the Khandaq (trench)
Narrated Al-Bara:
On the day (of the battle) of Al-Ahzab (i.e. clans) I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) carrying earth, and the earth was
covering the whiteness of his `Abdomen. And he was saying, "Without You (O Allah!) we would
have got no guidance, nor given in charity, nor prayed. So please bless us with tranquility and make
firm our feet when we meet our enemies.
Indeed (these) people have rebelled against (oppressed) us but never shall we yield if they try to bring
affliction upon us."
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ الأَحْزَابِ يَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ وَقَدْ وَارَى التُّرَابُ بَيَاضَ بَطْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَوْلاَ أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلاَ تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلاَ صَلَّيْنَا فَأَنْزِلِ السَّكِينَةَ عَلَيْنَا وَثَبِّتِ الأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لاَقَيْنَا إِنَّ الأُلَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا إِذَا أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا
Whoever is held back from Jihad by a legal cause
Narrated Anas:
We returned from the Ghazwa of Tabuk along with the Prophet. (See Hadith No. 92 below) .
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ أَنَّ أَنَسًا حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ رَجَعْنَا مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
Whoever is held back from Jihad by a legal cause
Narrated Anas:
While the Prophet (ﷺ) was in a Ghazwa he said, "Some people have remained behind us in Medina and
we never crossed a mountain path or a valley, but they were with us (i.e. sharing the reward with us),
as they have been held back by a (legal) excuse. "
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ ـ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَقْوَامًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ خَلْفَنَا مَا سَلَكْنَا شِعْبًا وَلاَ وَادِيًا إِلاَّ وَهُمْ مَعَنَا فِيهِ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ وَقَالَ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ
The superiority of observing Saum in Allah's Cause
Narrated Abu Sa`id:
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Indeed, anyone who fasts for one day for Allah's Pleasure, Allah will
keep his face away from the (Hell) fire for (a distance covered by a journey of) seventy years."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَسُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بَعَّدَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا
The Superiority of spending in Allah's Cause
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever spends two things in Allah's Cause, will be called by all the gate-keepers
of Paradise who will be saying, 'O so-and-so! Come here.' " Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's Messenger! Such
persons will never be destroyed." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I hope you will be one of them."
حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ دَعَاهُ خَزَنَةُ الْجَنَّةِ كُلُّ خَزَنَةِ باب أَىْ فُلُ هَلُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَاكَ الَّذِي لاَ تَوَى عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ
The Superiority of spending in Allah's Cause
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ascended the pulpit and said, "Nothing worries me as to what will happen to you after
me, except the temptation of worldly blessings which will be conferred on you." Then he mentioned
the worldly pleasures. He started with the one (i.e. the blessings) and took up the other (i.e. the
pleasures). A man got up saying, "O Allah's Messenger! Can the good bring about evil?" The Prophet (ﷺ)
remained silent and we thought that he was being inspired divinely, so all the people kept silent with
awe. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) wiped the sweat off his face and asked, "Where is the present questioner?" "Do
you think wealth is good?" he repeated thrice, adding, "No doubt, good produces nothing but good.
Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a stream which either kills or nearly kills the grazing
animals because of gluttony except the vegetation-eating animal which eats till both its flanks are full
(i.e. till it gets satisfied) and then stands in the sun and defecates and urinates and again starts grazing.
This worldly property is sweet vegetation. How excellent the wealth of the Muslim is, if it is collected
through legal means and is spent in Allah's Cause and on orphans, poor people and travelers. But he
who does not take it legally is like an eater who is never satisfied and his wealth will be a witness
against him on the Day of Resurrection."

The superiority of the one who prepares a Ghazi or looks after his dependents
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, " He who pre pares a Ghazi going in Allah's Cause is given a reward equal to
that of) a Ghazi; and he who looks after properly the dependents of a Ghazi going in Allah's Cause is
(given a reward equal to that of) Ghazi."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بُسْرُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مَنْ جَهَّزَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ غَزَا وَمَنْ خَلَفَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِخَيْرٍ فَقَدْ غَزَا
The superiority of the one who prepares a Ghazi or looks after his dependents
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) used not to enter any house in Medina except the house of Um Sulaim besides those of
