كتاب الجهادBook: On the Explanation of Jihad
بَابُ التَّرْغِيبِ فِي الْجِهَادِChapter on encouragement for jihad
Hadith 959
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، كَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ الدَّائِمِ، الَّذِي لَا يَفْتُرُ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ وَلَا صِيَامٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of the one who strives in the way of Allah is like that of a person who fasts during the day and stands in prayer at night, not tiring from prayer nor from fasting, until he returns from striving (jihad)."
