"uthman bin 'Affan said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: A day in the cause of Allah is better than a thousand days doing anything else.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Guarding a frontier in the cause of Allah for a day is better than the world and whatever is in it. Have I conveyed this to you?" They said, "Yes." He said, "O Allah, bear witness to this."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُكُمْ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ»  

"Abu Salih, the freed slave of 'Uthman, said: 'I heard 'Uthman bin 'Affan say: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Ribat (guarding the frontier) for one day in the cause of Allah is better in rank than a thousand days spent within the residence.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3169)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنَ الْمَنَازِلِ»  

"uthman bin 'Affan said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: A day in the cause of Allah is better than a thousand days doing anything else.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3170)

"رباطُ يوْمٍ فِى سبيل اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يوْمٍ فِيما سِواهُ مِنَ المنَازل".  

"يَوْمٌ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّه خَيْرٌ مِنْ ألفِ يومٍ فِيمَا سِواه".
