حَدَّثَنَا 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.

Hadith Commentary:
The intent of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was that going out for jihad is not obligatory upon you as it is upon men.
The meaning of this hadith is not that women should not accompany the mujahideen.
Rather, they can go, because in the hadith of Umm Atiyyah (radi Allahu anha) it is mentioned that we used to go out for jihad and would tend to the wounded, etc., and the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave glad tidings to a woman that she would be martyred along with the mujahideen.
(Wahidi)
