[Machine] One day during his sermon, he said, "Verily, my Lord has commanded me to teach you what you are ignorant of from what He has taught me on this day." He then mentioned the conversation and said, "O Muhammad, indeed I have sent you to be tested and to test others through you. And I have revealed a book upon you that cannot be washed away by water, and you can recite it while asleep or awake. And indeed, Allah has commanded me to destroy the Quraysh, so I said, 'O Lord, if I do so, they will put my head on a loaf of bread.' He said, 'Remove them as they removed you, and hurt them as they hurt you. And spend, and we shall spend on you. And send an army, and we shall send five times their number.' And fight those who obey you and those who disobey you." He then mentioned the conversation.  

ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ أَلَا إِنَّ رَبِّي أَوْ إِنَّ رَبِّي أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَعَلِّمَكُمْ مَا جَهِلْتُمْ مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِي يَوْمِي هَذَا فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُكَ لِأَبْتَلِيَكَ وَأَبْتَلِيَ بِكَ وَأَنْزَلْتُ عَلَيْكَ كِتَابًا لَا يَغْسِلُهُ الْمَاءُ تَقْرَؤُهُ نَائِمًا وَيَقْظَانَ وَإِنَّ اللهَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُحَرِّقَ قُرَيْشًا فَقُلْتُ رَبِّ إِذًا يَثْلَغُوا رَأْسِي فَيَدَعُوهُ خُبْزَةً فَقَالَ اسْتَخْرِجْهُمْ كَمَا أَخْرَجُوكَ وَاغْزُهُمْ نُغْزِكَ وَأَنْفِقْ فَنُنْفِقَ عَلَيْكَ وَابْعَثْ جَيْشًا نَبْعَثْ خَمْسَةَ أَمْثَالِهِ وَقَاتِلْ بِمَنْ أَطَاعَكَ مَنْ عَصَاكَ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] "He used to say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to Yemen and said to me, 'Perhaps you will pass by my grave and my mosque. I have sent you to a people with gentle hearts. They will fight against you twice for the truth. Fight against those among them who obey you and forgive those who disobey you. Then, proceed towards embracing Islam until a woman surpasses her husband, a son surpasses his father, and a brother surpasses his brother. Stay between the two mountains of tranquility and murmuring.'"  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَمُرَّ بِقَبْرِي وَمَسْجِدِي قَدْ بَعَثْتُكَ إِلَى قَوْمٍ رَقِيقَةٍ قُلُوبُهُمْ يُقَاتِلُونَكَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَاتِلْ بِمَنْ أَطَاعَكَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ عَصَاكَ ثُمَّ يَغْدُونَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ حَتَّى تُبَادِرَ الْمَرْأَةُ زَوْجَهَا وَالْوَلَدُ وَالِدَهُ وَالْأَخُ أَخَاهُ فَانْزِلْ بَيْنَ الْحَيَّيْنِ السَّكُونِ وَالسَّكَاسِكِ  

[Machine] I heard Ibn al-Khasa'isah saying, "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to pledge allegiance to him on Islam. He stipulated that I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and that I pray the five prayers, fast during Ramadan, give Zakat, perform Hajj, and strive in the cause of Allah. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I cannot bear two of them. As for Zakat, I do not have more than ten Dirhams. They are my family's messengers and their burdens. As for Jihad, they believe that whoever turns away from it has incurred the wrath of Allah. When I am about to face a battle, I dislike death and my soul becomes fearful.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then took hold of his hand and moved it and said, 'There is no Zakat or Jihad for you. How then will you enter Paradise?' He said, 'Then I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I pledge allegiance to you, so pledge allegiance to me on these,' and I motioned with my hand." This is the wording of Abu 'Abdullah's Hadith.  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْخَصَاصِيَةِ ؓ يَقُولُ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لِأُبَايِعَهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَاشْتَرَطَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَتُصَلِّيَ الْخَمْسَ وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ وَتُؤَدِّيَ الزَّكَاةَ وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ وَتُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمَّا اثْنَتَانِ فَلَا أُطِيقُهُمَا أَمَّا الزَّكَاةُ فَمَا لِي إِلَّا عَشْرُ ذَوْدٍ هُنَّ رَسَلُ أَهْلِي وَحَمُولَتُهُمْ وَأَمَّا الْجِهَادُ فَيَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ وَلَّى فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللهِ فَأَخَافُ إِذَا حَضَرَنِي قِتَالٌ كَرِهْتُ الْمَوْتَ وَخَشَعَتْ نَفْسِي قَالَ فَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ حَرَّكَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا صَدَقَةَ وَلَا جِهَادَ فَبِمَ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُبَايِعُكَ فَبَايَعَنِي عَلَيْهِنَّ كُلِّهِنَّ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, will you not inform me of an action through which I may enter Paradise?" He said: "If you wish, I will inform you of the head of the matter, its pillar, and its peak. As for the head of the matter, it is Islam; whoever submits to it has succeeded. As for its pillar, it is prayer; whoever establishes it has established the religion. And as for its peak, it is jihad; whoever strives in it has excelled." And he mentioned the Hadith.  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا تُحَدِّثُنِي بِعَمَلٍ أَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ؟ قَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْبَأْتُكَ بِرَأْسِ الْأَمْرِ وَعَمُودِهِ وَذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ أَمَّا رَأْسُ الْأَمْرِ فَالْإِسْلَامُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ سَلِمَ وَأَمَّا عَمُودُهُ فَالصَّلَاةُ وَأَمَّا ذِرْوَةُ سَنَامِهِ فَالْجِهَادُ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Use your property, your persons any your tongues in striving against the polytheists. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2504)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ جَاهِدُوا يَعْنِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتِكُمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah said, "You should engage in jihad for the sake of Allah, as it is a door from the doors of Paradise. Through it, Allah removes distress, grief, and increases it [jihad] for others. He also said, 'Strive in the cause of Allah both nearby and distant, and establish the limits of Allah both nearby and distant. Do not let the blame of the blamers deter you in the cause of Allah.'" The Sheikh said, "This was narrated from Al-Harith ibn Mu'awiya al-Kindi, from Ubada ibn As-Samit."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَإِنَّهُ بَابٌ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يُذْهِبُ اللهُ بِهِ الْغَمَّ وَالْهَمَّ وَزَادَ فِيهِ غَيْرُهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَجَاهِدُوا فِي اللهِ الْقَرِيبَ وَالْبَعِيدَ وَأَقِيمُوا حُدُودَ اللهِ فِي الْقَرِيبِ وَالْبَعِيدِ وَلَا يَأْخُذْكُمْ فِي اللهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ؓ  

[Machine] "Allah, exalted and high, said: 'March forth, whether light or heavy' [Quran 9:41]. So I find myself feeling nothing but light."  

اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا} [التوبة 41] فَلَا أَجِدُنِي إِلَّا خَفِيفًا  

[Machine] Talhah read this verse, "March forth, whether light or heavy." [Surah At-Tawbah, verse 41] He said, "I see our Lord mobilizing us, old and young. Prepare me, O sons, prepare me." So his sons said, "You have already witnessed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Abu Bakr, and Umar, and we are ready to fight." He said, "Prepare me." Then he embarked on the sea and died. They did not find any island for him except after seven days. He was buried there and did not change.  

طَلْحَةَ ؓ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا} [التوبة 41] قَالَ أَرَى رَبَّنَا يَسْتَنْفِرُنَا شُيُوخًا وَشَبَابًا جَهِّزُونِي أَيْ بَنِيَّ جَهِّزُونِي فَقَالَ بَنُوهُ قَدْ شَهِدْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ فَنَحْنُ نَغْزُو فَقَالَ جَهِّزُونِي فَرَكِبَ الْبَحْرَ فَمَاتَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ جَزِيرَةً إِلَّا بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَقُبِرَ بِهَا وَلَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ
