حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِشِعْبٍ فِيهِ عَيْنٌ عَذْبَةٌ ، قَالَ : فَأَعْجَبَتْهُ ، يَعْنِي طِيبَ الشِّعْبِ ، فَقَالَ : لَوْ أَقَمْتُ هَاهُنَا وَخَلَوْتُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : لَا ، حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ : " مُقَامُ أَحَدِكُمْ يَعْنِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ أَحَدِكُمْ فِي أَهْلِهِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً ، أَمَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَتَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ ؟ ، جَاهِدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، مَنْ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ ، وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a companion of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a place where there was a spring of sweet water, and he liked the climate there. He thought to himself that he would settle there and live in seclusion. Then he thought, no, I should first ask the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So he came and asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Participating in jihad in the way of Allah by any one of you is far better than worshipping continuously for sixty years while living with your family. Do you not wish that Allah should forgive you and admit you to Paradise? Strive in the way of Allah. Whoever strives in the way of Allah even to the extent of the time it takes for milk to flow from a she-camel’s udder, Paradise becomes obligatory for him.
