Jami at-Tirmidhi 1667 — The Virtue of Protecting the Border

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَقِيلٍ زُهْرَةُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، يَقُولُ : إِنِّي كَتَمْتُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَرَاهِيَةَ تَفَرُّقِكُمْ عَنِّي ، ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمُوهُ لِيَخْتَارَ امْرُؤٌ لِنَفْسِهِ مَا بَدَا لَهُ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنَ الْمَنَازِلِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل : أَبُو صَالِحٍ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ اسْمُهُ : تُرْكَانُ .
Abu Salih, the freed slave of Uthman, says: I heard Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) saying from the pulpit: I had concealed a hadith from you which I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) out of fear that you would separate from me. Then it occurred to me that I should narrate it to you so that everyone may choose for himself what he understands. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Guarding the frontier for one day in the way of Allah is better than guarding for a thousand days elsewhere." __REF_N__ Imam Tirmidhi says: This hadith is hasan sahih gharib.
