Hadith 2762

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الذِّمَارِيُّ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَنْ لَمْ يَغْزُ أَوْ يُجَهِّزْ غَازِيًا أَوْ يَخْلُفْ غَازِيًا فِي أَهْلِهِ بِخَيْرٍ أَصَابَهُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ بِقَارِعَةٍ قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Umamah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` “Whoever does not fight, or equip a fighter, or stay behind to look after a fighter’s family, Allah will strike him with a calamity before the Day of Resurrection.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ In addition to personally participating in battle, financially supporting a mujahid or serving and looking after the family of a mujahid is also equal to participating in jihad.

➋ If a person is unable to participate in battle, he must certainly take part in one of the other two actions; otherwise, he will be considered guilty of abandoning jihad.

➌ The punishment for some sins is meted out in this very world.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The defeat faced by the Muslim Ummah,
without doubt, is the result of turning away from jihad and cowardice in the face of the disbelievers.
And the various calamities from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, are also evidence of His reckoning.
