عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلْبَرَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ الرَّجُلُ يَحْمِلُ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَهُوَ مِمَّنْ أَلْقَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ قَالَ لَا لَأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَعَثَ رَسُولَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ {فَقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَا تُكَلَّفُ إِلَّا نَفْسَكَ} [النساء: 84] إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ فِي النَّفَقَةِ
Abu Ishaq says: I said to Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him): A man attacks the polytheists, is he the one who throws himself into destruction with his own hand? He said: No, because Allah Almighty sent His Messenger and said: Strive in the way of Allah, you will not be held responsible except for your own self. This is about spending wealth.
