[Machine] "He (Amr bin Malik al-Janbi) heard Fadalah bin Ubaid say, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "The true fighter (mujahid) is the one who struggles against his own self for the sake of Allah.'""  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَمْرَو بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْجَنْبِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْمُجَاهِدُ مَنْ جَاهَدَ نَفْسَهُ فِي اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about poetry?" He replied, "Verily, the believer strives with his sword and his tongue, and I swear by the One in whose hand is my soul, it is as if you are showering them with nobility."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَى فِي الشِّعْرِ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنَّمَا تَنْضَحُونَهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ»  

"Strive against the idolators with your wealth, your hands and your tongues." [1] [1] Its chain has defects while its meaning is supported by other chains. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3096)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «جَاهِدُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتِكُمْ»  

‘Uqabah bin Amir Al Juhani said “I heard the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ recite when he was on the pulpit “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power. Beware, strength is shooting, beware strength is shooting, beware strength is shooting.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2514)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ أَلَا إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ أَلَا إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ أَلَا إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ»  

“When the Prophet was expelled from Makkah, Abu Bakr said to him: ‘They have driven out their Prophet, verily to Allah we belong and to Him we return. They are surely doomed.’ Then it was revealed: ‘Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged; and surely, Allah is able to give them (believers) victory.’ Then I knew that there would be fighting.” Ibn Abbas said: “This is the first Verse that was revealed concerning fighting.” (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3085)  

لَمَّا خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ «أَخْرَجُوا نَبِيَّهُمْ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ لَيَهْلِكُنَّ فَنَزَلَتْ {أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ} » قَالَ «فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ» قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «فَهِيَ أَوَّلُ آيَةٍ نَزَلَتْ فِي الْقِتَالِ»  

"We were in a Roman city, when a large column of Romans came out to us. So about the same number or more of the Muslims went towards them. The commander of the people of Egypt was 'Uqbah bin 'Amir, and the commenter of the (our) group was Fadalah bin 'Ubaid. One man among the Muslims reached the Roman line until he entered amidst them, so the people started screaming: 'Subhan Allah! He has thrown himself into destruction!' Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari said: 'O you people! You give this interpretation for this Ayah, while this Ayah was only revealed about us, the people among the Ansar, when Allah made Islam might, and increased its supporters. Some of us secretly said to each other, outside of the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "Our wealth has been ruined, and Allah has strengthened Islam, and increased its supporters, so if we tend to our wealth then what we lost of it shall be revitalized for us." So Allah, Blessed and Most High, revealed to His Prophet ﷺ, rebuking what we said: 'And spend in the cause of Allah, and do not throw yourselves into destruction. (2:195)' So the destruction was tending to the wealth and maintaining it.' Abu Ayyub did not cease traveling in Allah's cause, until he was buried in the land of the Romans." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2972)   

«كُنَّا بِمَدِينَةِ الرُّومِ فَأَخْرَجُوا إِلَيْنَا صَفًّا عَظِيمًا مِنَ الرُّومِ وَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِثْلُهُ أَوْ أَكْثَرُ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ مِصْرَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَمَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى صَفِّ الرُّومِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ فِيهِمْ فَصَاحَ بِهِ النَّاسُ وَقَالُوا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ تُلْقِي بِيَدِكَ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ فَقَامَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ تَتَأَوَّلُونَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ عَلَى هَذَا التَّأْوِيلِ إِنَّمَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِينَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِنَّا لَمَّا أَعَزَّ اللَّهُ الْإِسْلَامَ وَكَثَّرَ نَاصِرِيهِ قُلْنَا بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ سِرًّا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَمْوَالَنَا قَدْ ضَاعَتْ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَعَزَّ الْإِسْلَامَ وَكَثَّرَ نَاصِرِيهِ فَلَوْ أَقَمْنَا فِي أَمْوَالِنَا فَأَصْلَحْنَا مَا ضَاعَ مِنَّا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا مَا قُلْنَا {وَأَنْفِقُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ وَأَحْسِنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ} فَكَانَتِ التَّهْلُكَةُ الْإِقَامَةَ فِي أَمْوَالِنَا وَإِصْلَاحَهَا وَتَرْكَنَا الْغَزْوَ قَالَ » وَمَا زَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ شَاخِصًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى دُفِنَ بِأَرْضِ الرُّومِ «  

[Machine] We were with the Prophet ﷺ , and Allah revealed to him. And whenever revelation came to him, his eyes remained open and his hearing and heart would be focused on what Allah was conveying. We used to notice this about him. So he said to the scribe, "Write: 'Not equal are those believers who sit [at home] and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah'." Then a blind man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is our fault?" So Allah revealed to him [the Prophet], and we told the blind man that it was a revelation for the Prophet. And the blind man was afraid that something from the revelation might be revealed upon him, so he remained standing and said, "I seek refuge in the anger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So the Prophet ﷺ said to the scribe, "Write: 'Except for those who are disabled'"  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ إِذَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ دَامَ بَصَرُهُ مَفْتُوحَةٌ عَيْنَاهُ وَفَرَغَ سَمْعُهُ وَقَلْبُهُ لِمَا يَأْتِيهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَكُنَّا نَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لِلْكَاتِبِ «اكْتُبْ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} {وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} فَقَامَ الْأَعْمَى فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا ذَنْبُنَا؟ فَأُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا لِلْأَعْمَى إِنَّهُ يُنَزَّلُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَخَافَ أَنْ يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ فَبَقِيَ قَائِمًا وَيَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِغَضَبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلْكَاتِبِ » اكْتُبْ {غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} «  

[Machine] I was writing in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, "Write: 'Those believers who stay behind are not equal to those who strive in the cause of Allah.'" Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I love to fight in the cause of Allah, but I have lost my sight since a long time ago." Zaid ibn Thabit said, "So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his hand on mine and pressed it on his thigh until I felt the weight, fearing it may dislocate. Then, when the revelation was removed from him, he said, "Write: 'Those believers who stay behind are not equal to those who strive in the cause of Allah, except for those who are disabled, and those who strive in the cause of Allah.'"  

كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اكْتُبْ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} {وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} » قَالَ فَجَاءَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَبِي مِنَ الزَّمَانَةِ مَا تَرَى قَدْ ذَهَبَ بَصَرِي قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَثَقُلَتْ فَخِذُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَخِذِي حَتَّى خَشِيتُ أَنْ تَرَفَّضَ فَلَمَّا سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ قَالَ «اكْتُبْ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} »  

[Machine] The Prophetﷺ said: "Indeed, there are people in Medina who were prevented by illness."  

النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَقَدْ شَهِدَكُمْ أَقْوَامٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَبَسَهُمُ الْمَرَضُ»
