أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا وُهَيْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْوَرْدِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، عَنْ سُمَيٍّ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَغْزُ ، وَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْ نَفْسَهُ بِغَزْوٍ ، مَاتَ عَلَى شُعْبَةِ نِفَاقٍ " .

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
From this, the importance of jihad becomes clear. Furthermore, it is understood from this that every Muslim should harbor enmity in his heart against disbelief and disbelievers, and should possess this resolve that whenever the stage of jihad arises, he will not refrain from sacrificing his life and wealth.

Benefits and Issues:
A sincere Muslim desires the dominance of Islam and the Muslims in every circumstance,
and strives for it.
He is eager for jihad and is a supporter and helper of the act of jihad.
If someone does not possess any such quality, then he is a Muslim in name only.
And being deprived of such sentiments is a part of hypocrisy and a great misfortune.
