Sunan Abu Dawud — Hadith 2629

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ أَسِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ ، عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ مُجَاهِدٍ اللَّخْمِيِّ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : غَزَوْتُ مَعَ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَضَيَّقَ النَّاسُ الْمَنَازِلَ وَقَطَعُوا الطَّرِيقَ ، فَبَعَثَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي فِي النَّاسِ " أَنَّ مَنْ ضَيَّقَ مَنْزِلًا أَوْ قَطَعَ طَرِيقًا فَلَا جِهَادَ لَهُ " .
Narrated Muadh ibn Anas al-Juhani: I fought along with the Prophet ﷺ in such and such battles. The people occupied much space and encroached on the road. The Prophet ﷺ sent an announcer to announce among the people: Those who occupy much space or encroach on the road will not be credited with jihad.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
In all matters of life, it is obligatory to deal with goodness towards the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), as well as towards ordinary Muslims, companions, and associates.

➋
Due to neglecting clear fundamental matters, even great acts of righteousness become insignificant.
Especially, not fulfilling the rights of the road is a very grave offense.
