56. Jihạd (Fighting for the Cause of Allah)
٥٦۔ كتاب الجهاد والسير
One who enables a soldier to fight in the path of Allah is like the one who fought
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever equips a fighter in the path of Allah has indeed fought, and whoever looks after the family of a fighter in the path of Allah in a good manner has ˹also˺ indeed fought.”
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنْ جَهَّزَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ غَزَا، وَمَنْ خَلَفَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِخَيْرٍ فَقَدْ غَزَا».
The Prophet ﷺ used not to enter any house in Medina except the house of Um Sulaim besides those of his wives when he was asked why, he said, "I take pity on her as her brother was killed in my company. "
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ غَيْرَ بَيْتِ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ إِلاَّ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَرْحَمُهَا قُتِلَ أَخُوهَا مَعِي۔»
