[Machine] "I do not fight until they come to me with a sword that has two eyes, a tongue, and lips, recognizing the disbeliever from the believer. I have strived and I know what Jihad is, and I do not prevail by myself if there is a man better than me."  

الحاكم:٨٣٧٠ – أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ بِمَكَّةَ ثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَ مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ قِيلَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَلَا تُقَاتِلُ فَإِنَّكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشُّورَى وَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ مِنْ غَيْرِكَ قَالَ

«لَا أُقَاتِلُ حَتَّى يَأْتُونِي بِسَيْفٍ لَهُ عَيْنَانِ وَلِسَانٌ وَشَفَتَانِ يَعْرِفُ الْكَافِرَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ قَدْ جَاهَدْتُ وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُ الْجِهَادَ وَلَا أَنْجَعُ بِنَفْسِي إِنْ كَانَ رَجُلًا خَيْرًا مِنِّي»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ على شرط البخاري ومسلم
