Chapter 29: Whoever preferred Jihad to Saum (fasting) - كتاب الجهاد والسير
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
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.
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.

Chapter 31: The Statement of Allah Aza wa'jal: "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home),..." - كتاب الجهاد والسير
Narrated Al-Bara:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {لاَ يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم زَيْدًا، فَجَاءَ بِكَتِفٍ فَكَتَبَهَا، وَشَكَا ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ ضَرَارَتَهُ فَنَزَلَتْ {لاَ يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ }.
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)
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 (ﷺ)! 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)

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."

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."

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."

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. "

Chapter 37: The Superiority of spending in Allah's Cause - كتاب الجهاد والسير
Narrated Abu Huraira:
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 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 (ﷺ)! Such
persons will never be destroyed." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I hope you will be one of them."
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 (ﷺ)! 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 Prophet (ﷺ) used not to enter any house in Medina except the house of Um Sulaim besides those of
his wives when he was asked why, he said, "I take pity on her as her brother was killed in my
company. "
Once Musa bin Anas while describing the battle of Yamama, said, "Anas bin Malik went to Thabit bin
Qais, who had lifted his clothes from his thighs and was applying Hunut to his body. Anas asked, 'O
Uncle! What is holding you back (from the battle)?' He replied, 'O my nephew! I am coming just
now,' and went on perfuming himself with Hunut, then he came and sat (in the row). Anas then
mentioned that the people fled from the battle-field. On that Thabit said, 'Clear the way for me to fight
the enemy. We would never do so (i.e. flee) in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). How bad the habits
you have acquired from your enemies!"
