أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدُوسٍ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أنبأ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: اسْتَأْذَنْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْجِهَادِ، فَقَالَ: " جِهَادُكُنَّ أَوْ حَسْبُكُنَّ الْحَجُّ ". رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ.
The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), said: I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to wage jihad, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your jihad is your Hajj, or: performing Hajj alone is sufficient for you."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ زَيْدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْعَلَوِيُّ، وَأَبُو الْقَاسِمِ عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ النَّجَّارُ الْمُقْرِئُ بِالْكُوفَةِ، قَالَا: أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ دُحَيْمٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، أنبأ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي، ثنا قَبِيصَةُ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا، ⦗٣٧⦘ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فِي الْجِهَادِ، فَقَالَ: " حَسْبُكُنَّ الْحَجُّ أَوْ جِهَادُكُنَّ الْحَجُّ "..
This narration is also like the first one. Here the words are: "The Hajj is sufficient for you, or: your jihad is the Hajj." (Previous reference)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ بْنُ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ الْعَلَوِيُّ، وَأَبُو الْقَاسِمِ بْنُ النَّجَّارِ الْمُقْرِئُ، قَالَا: أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرِ بْنُ دُحَيْمٍ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا قَبِيصَةُ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا بِنَحْوِ هَذَا. رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ، بِالْإِسْنَادَيْنِ جَمِيعًا.
This narration is also like the previous narrations, and both of its chains are transmitted from Qabisah. (Previous reference)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَحْمُودٌ الْوَاسِطِيُّ لَفْظَهُ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَا: ثنا وَهْبٌ، أنبأ خَالِدٌ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَرَى الْجِهَادَ أَفْضَلَ الْعَمَلِ؛ أَفَلَا نُجَاهِدُ مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ: " لَا وَلَكِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْجِهَادِ حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ ". وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ خَالَتَهَا. رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ.
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: We said: "O Messenger of Allah, we consider jihad the best of deeds; should we not wage jihad with you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No; but the best jihad (for women) is an accepted Hajj (Hajj mabrur)."
Al-Bukhari recorded it in the Sahih from Abd al-Rahman bin al-Mubarak, from Khalid bin Abdullah.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، أنبأ قَبِيصَةُ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيَغْزُو الرِّجَالُ وَلَا نَغْزُو فَنُسْتَشْهَدَ، وَإِنَّمَا لَنَا نِصْفُ الْمِيرَاثِ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {وَلَا تَتَمَنَّوْا مَا فَضَّلَ اللهُ بِهِ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ} [سورة: النساء، آية رقم: ٣٢].
Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, the men take part in military campaigns while we do not take part, nor do we fight so that we may attain martyrdom, and likewise we receive half the share of inheritance compared to men? Thereupon Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And do not covet that by which Allah has favoured some of you over others." [Surah al-Nisa: 32]
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قُرَيْشٍ، أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: " عَرَضَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فِي الْقِتَالِ، وَأَنَا ابْنُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ فَلَمْ يُجِزْنِي، وَعَرَضَنِي يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ، وَأَنَا ابْنُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فَأَجَازَنِي ". قَالَ نَافِعٌ: فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَلِيفَةٌ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذَا الْحَدُّ بَيْنَ الصَّغِيرِ وَالْكَبِيرِ. وَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَّالِهِ أَنْ يَفْرِضُوا لِمَنْ كَانَ ابْنَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَمَا كَانَ دُونَ ذَلِكَ فَاجْعَلُوهُ فِي الْعِيَالِ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ.
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: On the day of Uhud I presented myself before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for the fighting of Uhud. He (peace and blessings be upon him) did not permit me, and at that time I was fourteen years old. Then on the day of the Trench (al-Khandaq) I presented myself when I was fifteen years old, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted me (to take part). Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I went to Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) during his caliphate and narrated this hadith to him, and he said: This is the dividing line between the minor and the adult. Then he wrote to his governors that whoever was fifteen years old should be included in the fighting, and whoever was younger than that should be placed among the dependants.
أخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، أنبأ شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ⦗٣٨⦘ الْمُزَكِّي، أنبأ أَبُو سَهْلِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْقَطَّانُ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: " عُرِضْتُ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ أَنَا وَرَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَا وَهُوَ ابْنَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، فَقَبِلَنَا ".
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Rafi' bin Khadij and I were presented before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of the Trench (for battle), and at that time each of us was fifteen years old, so he accepted us both.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الْقَبَّانِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي عَتَّابٍ الْأَعْيَنُ، ثنا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ جَارِيَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، ثنا عَمِّي عَمْرُو بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ جَارِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي زَيْدُ بْنُ جَارِيَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَصْغَرَ نَاسًا يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ مِنْهُمْ زَيْدُ بْنُ جَارِيَةَ يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ، وَالْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ، وَسَعْدٌ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَذَكَرَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ، كَذَا فِي كِتَابِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، وَرَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ.
Sayyiduna Zayd bin Jariyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that on the day of Uhud the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) considered some people too young and did not accept them (for jihad). Among them was I, and Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib, Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam, Sayyiduna Sa'd Abu Sa'id al-Khudri and Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), and (the narrator) also mentioned Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him).
In my book (the narrator's name) is given thus as Uthman bin Abdullah, and in another place I saw it as Ibn Ubaydullah.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْهَرَوِيُّ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَتَتْ بِي أُمِّي فَقَدِمَتِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَخَطَبَهَا النَّاسُ، فَقَالَتْ: لَا أَتَزَوَّجُ إِلَّا بِرَجُلٍ يَكْفُلُ لِي هَذَا الْيَتِيمَ، فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْرِضُ غِلْمَانَ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ فَيُلْحِقُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنْهُمْ. قَالَ: وَعُرِضْتُ عَامًا فَأَلْحَقَ غُلَامًا وَرَدَّنِي، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَقَدْ أَلْحَقْتَهُ وَرَدَدْتَنِي، وَلَوْ صَارَعْتُهُ لَصَرَعْتُهُ، قَالَ: " فَصَارِعْهُ "، فَصَارَعْتُهُ فَصَرَعْتُهُ؛ فَأَلْحَقَنِي ".
Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) said: My mother brought me to Madinah, and people sent her proposals of marriage. She said: I will marry only a man who will take care of this orphan. So she married a man from the Ansar. Every year, when the boys of the Ansar were presented to him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would send to the army whoever among them he found capable. Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) said: One year I was presented along with another boy; he (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted him and turned me back. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, you have accepted him and turned me back; if I throw him down, may I also go?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come, wrestle each other." He said: I threw him down, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted me as well.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ حَاتِمٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، أَنَّ نَجْدَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ خِلَالٍ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يُكَاتِبُ الْحَرُورِيَّةَ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ أَكْتُمَ عِلْمًا لَمْ أَكْتُبْ إِلَيْهِ. فَكَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ إِلَيْهِ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَأَخْبِرْنِي هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْزُو بِالنِّسَاءِ؟ وَهَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضْرِبُ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ؟ وَهَلْ كَانَ يَقْتُلُ الصِّبْيَانَ؟ وَمَتَى يَنْقَضِي يُتْمُ الْيَتِيمِ؟ وَعَنِ الْخُمُسِ لِمَنْ هُوَ؟. فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنَّكَ كَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْزُو بِالنِّسَاءِ، وَقَدْ كَانَ يَغْزُو ⦗٣٩⦘ بِهِنَّ يُدَاوِينَ الْمَرْضَى وَيُحْذَيْنَ مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ، وَأَمَّا السَّهْمُ فَلَمْ يَضْرِبْ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ، وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَقْتُلِ الْوِلْدَانَ فَلَا تَقْتُلْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ تَعْلَمُ مِنْهُمْ مَا عَلِمَ الْخِضْرُ مِنَ الصَّبِيِّ الَّذِي قَتَلَ، فَتُمَيِّزَ بَيْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَالْكَافِرِ، فَتَقْتُلَ الْكَافِرَ وَتَدَعَ الْمُؤْمِنَ، وَكَتَبْتَ مَتَى يَنْقَضِي يُتْمُ الْيَتِيمِ، وَلَعَمْرِي إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَتَنْبُتُ لِحْيَتُهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَضَعِيفُ الْأَخْذِ ضَعِيفُ الْإِعْطَاءِ، فَإِذَا أَخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ صَالِحِ مَا يَأْخُذُ النَّاسُ فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْيُتْمُ، وَكَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْخُمُسِ وَإِنَّا كُنَّا نَقُولُ: هُوَ لَنَا فَأَبَى ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا قَوْمُنَا فَصَبَرْنَا عَلَيْهِ ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَإِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ حَاتِمِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَرُوِّينَا فِي حَدِيثِ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ: " وَأَمَّا النِّسَاءُ وَالْعَبِيدُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شَيْءٌ مَعْلُومٌ إِذَا حَضَرُوا الْبَأْسَ، وَلَكِنْ يُحْذَوْنَ مِنْ غَنَائِمِ الْقَوْمِ ".
Yazid bin Hurmuz (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Najdah wrote to Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), asking him about certain matters. Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: People say that Ibn Abbas corresponds with the Haruriyyah, and were it not that I fear concealing knowledge, I would never write to him. Najdah wrote to him: "Amma ba'd (To proceed)": Tell me, did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) take women with him on military campaigns, and did he (peace and blessings be upon him) assign them a share? Did he (peace and blessings be upon him) kill children? When does the orphanhood of an orphan come to an end? And tell me about the khumus (one-fifth): for whom is it? Then Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) wrote to him: You have asked me whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took women with him on campaigns. He said: Yes, women did take part in campaigns with him (peace and blessings be upon him), but they would dress the wounds of the injured and nurse the sick, and they would be given something from the spoils, but they had no fixed share. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not kill children, so you too must not kill them, unless you come to know about those children what Khidr (peace be upon him) knew, and likewise distinguish between the believer and the disbeliever, so that you kill the disbeliever and leave the believer. You have also written asking when the orphanhood of an orphan is complete and finished. Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: By my life! Sometimes a man's beard grows and he has no understanding of dealings; he is completely weak in this matter. Whoever attains the understanding that other people have, his orphanhood comes to an end. And you have asked me about the khumus: we used to say, it is for us, but our people refused us that (saying it is not yours), so we bore it patiently.
And in another narration: As for slaves and women, there was no fixed share for them when they were present in battle, but they would take something from the people's spoils.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنَزِيُّ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، ثنا مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْأَنْطَاكِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ فَمَرَّ بِأُنَاسٍ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ، فَاتَّبَعَهُ عَبْدٌ لِامْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُمْ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: " فُلَانٌ "؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " مَا شَأْنُكَ؟ " قَالَ: أُجَاهِدُ مَعَكَ. قَالَ: " أَذِنَتْ لَكَ سَيِّدَتُكَ؟ " قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: " ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِنَّ مَثَلَكَ مَثَلُ عَبْدٍ لَا يُصَلِّي، إِنْ مُتُّ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهَا، فَاقْرَأْ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامَ ". فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا فَأَخْبَرَهَا الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالَتْ: آللَّهِ هُوَ أَمَرَ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ عَلَيَّ السَّلَامَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَتْ: ارْجِعْ فَجَاهِدْ مَعَهُ ".
Al-Harith bin Abdullah bin Abi Rabi'ah (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was on one of his military expeditions and passed by some people of Muzaynah. A slave belonging to a woman of that tribe followed him. When he met him on the way, he greeted him with salam. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are you so-and-so?" He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell me, what is the matter?" He said: I want to wage jihad with you (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Has your mistress given you permission?" He said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go back to her; your example is like that of a slave or servant who does not pray, if you die before reaching her. And convey my salam to her." The slave came to his mistress, conveyed his (peace and blessings be upon him) salam to her and related the whole incident. She said: I adjure you by Allah, did he (peace and blessings be upon him) command you to convey salam to me? The slave said: Yes. So the mistress said: Then go and wage jihad along with him (peace and blessings be upon him).
