“A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the first pillar and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, which Jihad is best?’ but he kept quiet. When he saw the second Pillar, he asked again, and he kept quiet. When he stoned ‘Aqabah Pillar, he placed his foot in the stirrup, to ride, and said: ‘Where is the one who was asking?’ (The man) said: ‘Here I am, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘A word of truth spoken to an unjust ruler.’”  

ابن ماجة:٤٠١٢حَدَّثَنَا رَاشِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ

عَرَضَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ الْجَمْرَةِ الأُولَى فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْجَمْرَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ سَأَلَهُ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ فَلَمَّا رَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ لِيَرْكَبَ قَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ قَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ عِنْدَ ذِي سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ

[Machine] "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was at the first Jamarat (stone-throwing station) and asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, which jihad is superior?' The Prophet ﷺ remained silent and did not answer him. Then he asked him again at the second Jamarat and he gave him the same reply. When the Prophet ﷺ threw the pebbles at Jamrat al-Aqaba and put his foot on the stump, he said, 'Where is the questioner?' The man said, 'The word of justice is with an unjust leader.'"

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ الْجَمْرَةِ الْأُولَى فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ وَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ عِنْدَ الْجَمْرَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَمَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ وَوَضَعَ رِجْلَهُفِي الْغَرْزِ قَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ؟ قَالَ كَلِمَةُ عَدْلٍ عِنْدَ إِمَامٍ جَائِرٍ
