حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ يَحْيَي ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ كلاهما ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ ، قَالَ يَحْيَي : أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ جُنْدُبِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ ، قَالَ : " دَمِيَتْ إِصْبَعُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ تِلْكَ الْمَشَاهِدِ ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ أَنْتِ إِلَّا إِصْبَعٌ دَمِيتِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَا لَقِيتِ " ،
It has been narrated on the authority of Jundub bin Sufyan who said: A finger of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was wounded in one of the encounters. He said: Thou art just a little finger which has bled, and what thou hast experienced is in the cause of Allah.

Hadith Commentary:

With this heading, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has alluded to the hadith presented in the following chapter, in which the virtue of becoming bloodied is mentioned.
In addition, in another hadith, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Whoever sets out in the path of Allah, and his horse causes him to fall, or he is bitten by a venomous creature, or he dies due to some illness, then he will be counted among the martyrs (shuhada).” (Sunan Abi Dawud, Al-Jihad, Hadith 2499)

Benefit:
Here, the hadith is concise, whereas in Sunan Abi Dawud: 2499, there is an addition that the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam addressed his finger and said:
“You have only become bloodied, you have not been destroyed, nor have you been severed from the body. Your being wounded is also in the path of Allah.”
From this, it is understood that even a wound sustained in jihad fi sabilillah (striving in the path of Allah) holds great virtue. Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has established a chapter to clarify its importance: “Whoever is wounded in the path of Allah or is struck with a spear.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, before hadith 2801) Furthermore, he has established another chapter: “The virtue of one who is wounded in the path of Allah.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, before hadith 2804)
May Allah Ta’ala grant us death as martyrs. Ameen.
