وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ، ثنا أَبُو صَالِحٍ الْفَرَّاءُ، ثنا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى نَافِعٍ أَسْأَلُهُ: مَا أَقْعَدَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنِ الْغَزْوِ؟ قَالَ: " فَكَتَبَ إِلِيَّ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يُغْزِي وَلَدَهُ وَيَحْمِلُ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ، وَمَا أَقْعَدَهُ عَنِ الْغَزْوِ إِلَّا وَصَايَا عُمَرَ وَصِبْيَانٌ صِغَارٌ، وَإِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يُغْزِي وَلَدَهُ وَيَحْمِلُ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ وَيَرَى الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَفْضَلَ الْأَعْمَالِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ ".
Abdullah bin Awn (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote to Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) asking why Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) did not go out on the military expeditions. He wrote in reply that he used to send his son out on campaigns and provide riding mounts (for the fighters), and that nothing kept him back from fighting except the trusts left by Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and young children; and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarded jihad in the way of Allah as superior to all other deeds after the obligatory prayer.
