[Machine] "From the Prophet ﷺ : every Prophet had a monasticism (monkhood) and the monasticism of this Ummah (nation/community) is jihad in the cause of Allah."  

أحمد:١٣٨٠٧حَدَّثَنَا يَعْمَرُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ زَيْدٍ الْعَمِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ رَهْبَانِيَّةٌ وَرَهْبَانِيَّةُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ
