إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ
The believer strives with his sword and his tongue
Hadith 1047
1047 - أنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْكِنْدِيُّ، نا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، نا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْمُقْرِئُ، نا أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ بْنُ السَّرْحِ، نا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَى فِي الشِّعْرِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنَّمَا يَنْضَحُونَهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ»
Abdur Rahman bin Ka'b bin Malik narrates from his father that he said: I asked: O Messenger of Allah! What do you think about poetry? The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, a believer strives with his sword and his tongue. By Him in Whose hand is my soul, it is as if he strikes them with spears (through satire)."
