[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ entered Makkah for the Umrah Al-Qada', Abdullah Ibn Rawaha walked in front of him saying, "Khallu Banee Al-Kuffar 'an sabeelihi, qad nazzaala ar-Rahmanu fee tanzilihi. Anna khayra al-qatl fi sabeelihi nahnu qat'alnakum 'ala tawiilihi, kama qatalnakum 'ala tanzilihi."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , entered in the Umrah of Al-Qadaa' with Abdullah ibn Rawahah in front of him, and he said:

[Al-Bahr Al-Rajz]

Let the disbelievers refrain from his way ... The Most Merciful has revealed in his revelation

That the best killing is in his way.

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي عَمْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ:

[البحر الرجز]

خَلُّوا بَنِي الكُفّارِ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ … قَدْ أنْزَلَ الرَّحْمَنُ فِي تَنْزِيلِهِ

بِأنَّ خَيْرَ القَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِهِ»
