A man asked the Prophet ﷺ, while he had placed his foot in the stirrup: “Which jihad is best?” He said: “A word of truth in the presence of a tyrannical ruler.”

أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَدْ وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ: أَىُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ عِنْدَ سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ».
