حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ حَرِيصٍ عَلَى الْجِهَادِ مُؤْدِيًا ، يَعْزِمُ عَلَيْهِ أُمَرَاؤُهُ فِي أَشْيَاءَ لَا يُحْصِيهَا ؟ فَقَالَ : وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لَكَ إِلَّا أَنَّا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَعَلَّنَا لَا نُؤْمَرُ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا فَعَلْنَاهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came and said: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman, what do you say about a man who is extremely eager for jihad in the path of Allah and is fully equipped (with weapons and mount), but his commanders (the leaders of the army) order him to do countless things that he cannot keep count of?" He said: "By Allah, I do not know what to say to you, except that when we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), whatever we were ordered to do, we carried it out (without hesitation)."
The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), and Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal narrated it in his book al-Musnad.
