[Machine] I asked the Prophet ﷺ for permission to participate in the Jihad, and he replied, "Your Hajj is sufficient for you."  

اسْتَأْذَنْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي الْجِهَادِ فَقَالَ جِهَادُكُنَّ أَوْ حَسْبُكُنَّ الْحَجُّ  

[Machine] She asked for his permission for jihad, and he said, "Is performing Hajj not sufficient for you? Or is your jihad in performing Hajj?" Abu Al-Qasim ibn Abi Hashim Al-Alawi and Abu Al-Qasim ibn Al-Najjar Al-Muqri informed us that Abu Ja'far ibn Duhaim told us that Ibrahim ibn Ishaq told us that Qabisa narrated to us from Sufyan from Habib from Aisha bint Talhah from Aisha, the mother of the believers, in a similar manner.  

ﷺ قَالَتْ اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فِي الْجِهَادِ فَقَالَ حَسْبُكُنَّ الْحَجُّ أَوْ جِهَادُكُنَّ الْحَجُّ 17804 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 ؓ بِنَحْوِ هَذَا  

[Machine] We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we see that Jihad is the best deed. Should we not strive alongside you?" He said, "No, the best Jihad is a performed Hajj. A Hajj that is accepted." And Aisha was his paternal aunt.  

قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَرَى الْجِهَادَ أَفْضَلَ الْعَمَلِ؛ أَفَلَا نُجَاهِدُ مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْجِهَادِ حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ خَالَتَهَا  

[Machine] O Messenger of Allah, will men go out to fight while we stay back and bear witness, even though we are entitled to only half of the inheritance? So Allah, the Almighty, revealed: "And do not wish for that by which Allah has made some of you exceed others." [Surah An-Nisa, verse 32]  

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 32]  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ inspected me on the battlefield on the Day of Uhud, and I was fourteen years old. He did not allow me (to take part in the fight). He inspected me on the Day of Khandaq-and I was fifteen yearsold, and he permitted me (to fight), Nafi' said: I came to 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz who was then Caliph, and narrated this tradition to him. He said: Surely, this is the demarcation between a minor and a major. So he wrote to his governors that they should pay subsistence allowance to one who was fifteen years old, but should treat those of lesser age among children. (Using translation from Muslim 1868a)   

عَرَضَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ 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  

[Machine] I was presented on the Day of the Trench with Rafa'ah bin Khadeejah to the Prophet (PBUH). He and I were both fifteen years old at the time, and he accepted us.  

عُرِضْتُ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ أَنَا وَرَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَا وَهُوَ ابْنَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فَقَبِلَنَا  

[Machine] “Allah’s Messenger ﷺ esteemed a group of people on the day of Uhud, including Zaid bin Jarah, who sacrificed himself, Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib, Zaid bin Arqam, Sa’ad, the father of Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri, Abdullah bin ‘Umar, and Jabir bin Abdullah. This is mentioned in my book, ‘Uthman bin Abdullah. And I have also seen it in another place, mentioned by Ibn Ubaidullah."  

اللهِ ﷺ 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 ؓ كَذَا فِي كِتَابِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَرَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ  

[Machine] "I will not marry unless a man guarantees this orphan for me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the Ansar's young men every year, and whoever among them reached puberty, he would choose for them. He said, "I was offered for a year, and a young man was chosen for me, but he rejected me. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you have chosen him for me but he rejected me.' If I had wrestled him, I would have defeated him." He said, "Wrestle him then." So I wrestled him and defeated him; thus, he was decided for me."  

لَا أَتَزَوَّجُ إِلَّا بِرَجُلٍ يَكْفُلُ لِي هَذَا الْيَتِيمَ فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ 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  

[Machine] Was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raiding women? And did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ shoot arrows for them? And did he kill young boys? And when does the orphan reach maturity? And who does the fifth belong to? So Ibn Abbas wrote to him, "Indeed, you wrote asking me if the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was raiding women, while he would raid them to cure the sick and benefit from the spoils. As for the arrow, he never shot an arrow for them. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not kill children, so do not kill them except if you know from them, what Al-Khidr knew from the boy he killed, which differentiated between the believer and the unbeliever, so you may kill the unbeliever and spare the believer. And you wrote when does the orphan reach maturity, and by my life, a man's beard grows (indicating maturity) and he is weak in taking and giving. So when he takes for himself from the good that people take, then the orphanage has departed from him. And you wrote asking me about the fifth, and indeed, we used to say it is for us, but our people did not agree on that, so we accepted it."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَغْزُو بِالنِّسَاءِ؟ وَهَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ 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 ﷺ يَغْزُو بِالنِّسَاءِ وَقَدْ كَانَ يَغْزُو بِهِنَّ يُدَاوِينَ الْمَرْضَى وَيُحْذَيْنَ مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ وَأَمَّا السَّهْمُ فَلَمْ يَضْرِبْ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ 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  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in one of his expeditions, and he passed by some people from Muzaynah. A slave followed him, who was the servant of one of them. When they were on a certain path, he greeted him and said, "So and so?" He said, "Yes." He said, "What do you want?" He said, "I want to fight alongside you." He said, "Did your mistress give you permission?" He said, "No." He said, "Go back to her, for someone like you is like a slave who does not pray, if he dies before returning to her. So recite the greeting of peace to her." So he returned to her and informed her of the news, and she said, "Did Allah command you to recite the greeting of peace to me?" He said, "Yes." She said, "Go back and strive with him."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ 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
