"Jihad of the elderly, the young, the weak, and women, is Hajj and 'Umarah."(Sahah) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2626)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ جِهَادُ الْكَبِيرِ وَالضَّعِيفِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ الْحَجُّ وَالْعُمْرَةُ  

[Machine] When the verse "Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] - other than the disabled" [Quran 4:95] was revealed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed Zaid to write it. Then, Ibn Umm Maktum came and complained about his disability to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So, Allah ﷻ revealed the verse "Except for the disabled" [Quran 4:95].  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ الْآيَةَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَيْدًا فَكَتَبَهَا فَجَاءَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَشَكَا ضَرَارَتَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} [النساء 95]  

[Machine] When the verse "Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] - other than the disabled - and the mujahideen, [who strive and fight] in the cause of Allah" was revealed, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ assigned Zaid to write it down. Then Ibn Umm Maktum came and complained about his disability to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So Allah revealed the verse "Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] - other than the disabled" [Quran 4:95].  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ الْآيَةَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَيْدًا فَكَتَبَهَا فَجَاءَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَشَكَا ضَرَارَتَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} [النساء 95]  

[Machine] I was with the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when the verse "Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] - other than the disabled - and the mujahideen [striving and fighting] in the cause of Allah" [Quran 4:95] was revealed. Ibn Umm Maktum came to him while I was writing it and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have been afflicted by harm and if I were able to fight, I would have fought." Zaid bin Thabit said, "So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , placed one of his legs on my thigh, making it heavy, until I thought it would break, then he said to me, 'Write: "Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] - other than the disabled - and the mujahideen."' This is the wording of the Qantari Hadith."  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَزَلَتْ لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَأَنَا أَكْتُبُهَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ تَرَى مَا بِعَيْنِيَّ مِنَ الضَّرَرِ وَلَوْ أَسْتَطِيعُ الْجِهَادَ لَجَاهَدْتُ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَثَقُلَتْ فَخِذُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَخِذِي حَتَّى هَمَّتْ أَنْ تَرُضَّهَا ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لِي اكْتُبْ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ} [النساء 95] لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الْقَنْطَرِيِّ  

Zaid bin Thabit said “I was beside the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ when the divinely-inspired calmness overtook him and the thigh of the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ fell on my thigh. I did not find any weightier than the thigh of the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ. He then regained his composure and said “Write down. I wrote on a shoulder. Not equal are thise believers who sit (at home), other than those who have a (disabling) hurt, and those who strive in the way of Allaah. When Ibn Umm Makhtum who was blind heard the excellence of the warriors. He stood up and said “Apostle of Allaah ﷺ how is it for those believers who are unable to fight (in the path of Allaah)? When he finished his question his divinely-inspired calmness overtook him, and his thigh fell on my thigh and I found its weight the second time as I found the first time.” When the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ regained his composure, he said “Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “Other than those who have a (disabling hurt). Zaid said “Allaah, the exalted, revealed it alone and I appended it.” By Him in Whose hands is my life, I am seeing, as it were the place where I put it (i.e., the verse) at the crack in the shoulder.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2507)   

أَنَّ السَّكِينَةَ غَشِيَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ زَيْدٌ وَأَنَا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَوَقَعَتْ فَخِذُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَخِذِي فَمَا وَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا أَثْقَلَ مِنْ فَخِذِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ اكْتُبْ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ} [النساء 95] الْآيَةَ كُلَّهَا قَالَ زَيْدٌ فَكَتَبْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي كَتِفٍ فَقَالَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا أَعْمَى حِينَ سَمِعَ فَضِيلَةَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ بِمَنْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الْجِهَادَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ فَمَا قَضَى ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ كَلَامَهُ أَوْ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ قَضَى كَلَامَهُ فَغَشِيَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ السَّكِينَةُ فَوَقَعَتْ فَخِذُهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي فَوَجَدْتُ مِنْ ثِقَلِهَا الْمَرَّةَ مِثْلَمَا وَجَدْتُ مِنْ ثِقَلِهَا فِي الْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ اقْرَأْ فَقَرَأْتُ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [النساء 95] فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ {غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} [النساء 95] قَالَ زَيْدٌ فَأَلْحَقْتُهَا وَكَانَ مَلْحَقُهَا عِنْدَ صَدْعٍ فِي الْكَتِفِ  

[Machine] "Allah says, 'Those believers who stay behind, apart from those who are disabled, are not equal to those who strive in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives.' They said, 'They are disabled people who were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and would not fight alongside him. They were suffering from illnesses and diseases, while others were healthy. So, the sick ones were excused more than the healthy ones.'"  

قَوْلِ اللهِ ﷻ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} [النساء 95] قَالَ هُمْ أُولُو الضَّرَرِ قَوْمٌ كَانُوا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَغْزُونَ مَعَهُ كَانَتْ تَحْبِسُهُمْ أَوْجَاعٌ وَأَمْرَاضٌ وَآخَرُونَ أَصِحَّاءُ فَكَانَ الْمَرْضَى أَعْذَرَ مِنَ الْأَصِحَّاءِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said during one of his journeys, "Indeed, in the city of Madinah, there are men whom we never walked in a path or crossed a valley without them being with us. Illness prevented them from being present to narrate the hadith of Ahmad."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لَرِجَالًا مَا سِرْنَا مَسِيرًا وَلَا قَطَعْنَا وَادِيًا إِلَّا كَانُوا مَعَنَا فِيهِ؛ حَبَسَهُمُ الْمَرَضُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَحْمَدَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, you have left behind in the city a group of people whom you have not traveled with nor have you spent from your wealth except that they are with you in it." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, how can they be with us when they are in the city?" He said: "The excuse has detained them."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَقَدْ تَرَكْتُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَقْوَامًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مَسِيرًا وَلَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ إِلَّا وَهُمْ مَعَكُمْ فِيهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَيْفَ يَكُونُونَ مَعَنَا وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ؟ قَالَ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ  

[Machine] About some of the elders of Banu Salamah, they said: Amr ibn Al-Jamuuh was severely crippled in his leg, and he had four young sons who would go out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whenever he went for a battle. So when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to go to Uhud, his sons said to him, "Indeed, Allah has given you permission to stay behind, so if you stay, we will protect you, and Allah has relieved you from the obligation of Jihad." So Amr ibn Al-Jamuuh came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my sons are preventing me from going out with you, and by Allah, I hope to be martyred. So may I step forward with this crippled leg of mine into Paradise?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "As for you, Allah has relieved you from the obligation of Jihad." Then he said to his sons, "What prevents you from letting him go? Perhaps Allah will grant him martyrdom." So he went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and was martyred on the Day of Uhud.  

عَنْ أَشْيَاخٍ مِنْ بَنِي سَلَمَةَ قَالُوا كَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْجَمُوحِ أَعْرَجَ شَدِيدَ الْعَرَجِ وَكَانَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ بَنِينَ شَبَابٌ يَغْزُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا غَزَا فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَى أُحُدٍ قَالَ لَهُ بَنُوهُ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ جَعَلَ لَكَ رُخْصَةً فَلَوْ قَعَدْتَ فَنَحْنُ نَكْفِيكَ فَقَدْ وَضَعَ اللهُ عَنْكَ الْجِهَادَ فَأَتَى عَمْرُو بْنُ الْجَمُوحِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بَنِيَّ هَؤُلَاءِ يَمْنَعُونَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مَعَكَ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ أُسْتَشْهَدَ فَأَطَأَ بِعَرْجَتِي هَذِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ وَضَعَ اللهُ عَنْكَ الْجِهَادَ وَقَالَ لِبَنِيهِ وَمَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَدَعُوهُ لَعَلَّ اللهَ يَرْزُقُهُ الشَّهَادَةَ فَخَرَجَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ شَهِيدًا
