"مثَلُ المجاهِد في سبيل اللهِ، كمثل الصائِم القائِمِ القانِتِ بآياتِ اللهِ لا يفتُرُ مِن صوم ولا صدقة، حتى يرجع المجاهد إِلى أَهلِه".  

[حب] ابن حبّان عن أَبي هريرة

malik:21-1Yaḥyá > Mālik > Abū al-Zinād > al-Aʿraj > Abū Hurayrah

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said "Someone who does jihad in the way of Allah is like someone who fasts and prays constantly and who does not slacken from his prayer and fasting until he returns."  

مالك:٢١-١حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ الدَّائِمِ الَّذِي لا يَفْتُرُ مِنْ صَلاَةٍ وَلاَ صِيَامٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ  

ahmad:9481Abū Muʿāwiyah > Suhayl from his father > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] They said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell us about an action that is equivalent to jihad in the cause of Allah." He said, "You are not able to do it twice or three times?" They said, "Tell us anyway, perhaps we will be able to do it." He said, "The example of the Mujahid in the cause of Allah is like the example of the one who fasts continuously and prays without ceasing until the Mujahid returns to his family."  

أحمد:٩٤٨١حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنَا بِعَمَلٍ يَعْدِلُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ لَا تُطِيقُونَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ قَالُوا أَخْبِرْنَا فَلَعَلَّنَا نُطِيقُهُ قَالَ مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ الْقَانِتِ بِآيَاتِ اللهِ لَا يَفْتُرُ مِنْ صِيَامٍ وَلَا صَلَاةٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ الْمُجَاهِدُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ

[Machine] "Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said, 'The example of the Mujahid in the way of Allah is like the one who stands without getting tired, and the example of the fasting person is that he does not break his fast until the Mujahid in the way of Allah returns.'"  

أحمد:٩٩٢٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ مَثَلُ الْقَائِمِ لَا يَفْتُرُ وَمَثَلُ الصَّائِمِ لَا يُفْطِرُ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ الْمُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ﷻ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: The similitude of the Mujahid (one who strives for the sake of Allah) in the way of Allah is like the similitude of the constant fasting and praying person who does not break his fast or leave his prayer until he returns.  

أحمد:١٠٠٠٠حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ نَهَارَهُ الْقَائِمِ لَيْلَهُ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ مَتَى رَجَعَ  

ذِكْرُ تَمْثِيلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْمُجَاهِدَ بِالصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ الَّذِي لَا يُفْطِرُ وَلَا يَفْتُرُ

ibnhibban:4621ʿUmar

ابن حبّان:٤٦٢١أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانَ وَكَانَ قَدْ صَامَ النَّهَارَ وَقَامَ اللَّيْلِ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً غَازِيًا وَمُرَابِطًا أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ الَّذِي لَا يَفْتُرُ مِنْ صِيَامٍ وَصَلَاةٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ»

ibnhibban:4627al-Ḥasan b. Sufyān al-Shaybānī > Abū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah > Abū Muʿāwiyah > Suhayl b. Abū Ṣāliḥ from his father > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] They said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell us about a deed that is equivalent to jihad in the cause of Allah." He replied, "You are unable to do it." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell us so that we may be able to do it." He said, "The likeness of a mujahid in the cause of Allah is like that of a fasting person who stands in prayer and recites the verses of Allah, not taking a break from fasting or giving charity until the mujahid returns to his family."  

ابن حبّان:٤٦٢٧أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنَا بِعَمَلٍ يَعْدِلُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ «لَا تُطِيقُونَهُ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنَا لَعَلَّنَا نُطِيقُهُ قَالَ «مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ الْقَانِتِ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَفْتُرُ مِنْ صَوْمٍ وَلَا صَدَقَةٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ الْمُجَاهِدُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ»
