(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ، قَالَ : كَتَبْتُ إِلَى نَافِعٍ أَسْأَلُهُ ، مَا أَقْعَدَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْغَزْوِ ؟ أَو عَنِ الْقَوْمِ إِذَا غَزَوْا ، بِمَا يَدْعُونَ الْعَدُوَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقَاتِلُوهُمْ ؟ وَهَلْ يَحْمِلُ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا كَانَ فِي الْكَتِيبَةِ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ إِمَامِهِ ؟ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ إِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَر قَدْ كَانَ يَغْزُو وَلَدُهُ ، وَيَحْمِلُ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ : إِنَّ " أَفْضَلَ الْعَمَلِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى " ، وَمَا أَقْعَدَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنِ الْغَزْوِ إِلَّا وَصَايَا لِعُمَرَ وَصِبْيَانٌ صِغَارٌ وَضَيْعَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ . (حديث مرفوع) (حديث موقوف) وَقَدْ " أَغَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَهُمْ غَارُّونَ يَسْقُونَ عَلَى نَعَمِهِمْ ، فَقَتَلَ مُقَاتِلَتَهُمْ ، وَسَبَى سَبَايَاهُمْ ، وَأَصَابَ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ ، قَالَ : فَحَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ، وَكَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشِ ، وَإِنَّمَا كَانُوا يُدْعَوْنَ فِي أَوَّلِ الْإِسْلَامِ ، وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ فَلَا يَحْمِلُ عَلَى الْكَتِيبَةِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ إِمَامِهِ " .
Ibn Awn says that once I wrote a letter and asked Sayyiduna Nafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) why Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) had stopped participating in jihad, while before the battle began he used to pray for it, and whether any person could attack an army without the permission of his leader? He replied to me in writing that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) participated in every jihad and rode on the back of an animal, and he himself used to say that after prayer, the most virtuous deed is jihad in the way of Allah. Now, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) not participating in jihad is due to being occupied in fulfilling some bequests of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), taking care of small children, and managing much land. And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) attacked Banu Mustaliq at a time when they were heedless and watering their animals. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had their fighting men killed, their women taken captive, and Lady Juwayriya (may Allah be pleased with her) came into the share of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This hadith was narrated to me by Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who participated in that army, and those people used to first invite to Islam. As for the rest, no person can attack any army without the permission of his leader.
