Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37778 — Reports on the virtue of remembering
٣٧٧٧٨ - حدثنا أبو خالد الأحمر عن يحيى بن سعيد عن أبي الزبير عن طاوس عن (معاذ بن جبل) (١) قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "ما عمل بن آدم (من) (٢) عمل أنجى له من النار من ذكر اللَّه، (قالوا) (٣): يا رسول اللَّه ولا الجهاد في سبيل اللَّه؟ قال: "ولا الجهاد في سبيل اللَّه، تضرب بسيفك حتى ينقطع ثم تضرب به حتى ينقطع" -ثلاثًا (٤).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No deed of the son of Adam saves him from the Fire more than the remembrance of Allah." The people said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), not even jihad in the path of Allah?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Not even jihad in the path of Allah, (even if) you strike with your sword until it breaks, then strike with it until it breaks." He said this three times.
