أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ ، أَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ ، قَالَ : " كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ عِنْدَ سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ " .
´It was narrated from Tariq bin Shihab that:` a man asked the Prophet, when he had put his leg in the stirrup: "Which kind of Jihad is best?'" He said: " a word of truth spoken before an unjust rulers."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) This is considered the most virtuous jihad because in it, the loss of life is certain. Furthermore, in the battlefield, a person can at least defend himself, whereas here, even that is not possible. In every respect, one's hands are tied. And then, one is killed in a most brutal manner. There is no one to encourage such a person; rather, there are more people who reproach him.
(2) "Had placed his foot in the stirrup" means he was mounting the camel.
(3) "Oppressive ruler" refers to one who cannot tolerate the word of truth being spoken to him.
