مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنَا
عَائِشَةُ بِنْتُ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِين رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَلَا نَغْزُو وَنُجَاهِدُ مَعَكُمْ ؟ فَقَالَ : لَكِنَّ أَحْسَنَ الْجِهَادِ وَأَجْمَلَهُ الْحَجُّ حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ " ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : فَلَا أَدَعُ الْحَجَّ بَعْدَ إِذْ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Narrated Aisha (mother of the faithful believers): I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shouldn't we participate in Holy battles and Jihad along with you?" He replied, "The best and the most superior Jihad (for women) is Hajj which is accepted by Allah." `Aisha added: Ever since I heard that from Allah's Apostle I have determined not to miss Hajj.
