“I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, which Jihad is best?’ He said: ‘(That of a man) whose blood is shed and his horse is wounded.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2794)   

الدارمي:٢٤٣٧أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ عُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ وَأُهْرِيقَ دَمُهُ»
