[Machine] "I do not fight until they come to me with a sword that has two eyes, a tongue, and lips, recognizing the disbeliever from the believer. I have strived and I know what Jihad is, and I do not prevail by myself if there is a man better than me."

"عن ابِن سيرينَ قَالَ: قيل لسعد بْنِ أَبِى وَقَّاصٍ: أَلَا تُقَاتِلُ؟ فَإِنَّكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشُّورَى، وأَنْت أَحَقُّ بِهَذا الأَمْرِ مِنْ غَيْرِكَ، فَقَالَ: لَا أُقَاتِلُ حَتَّى تَأتُونِى بِسَيْفٍ لَهُ عَيْنَانِ ولِسَانٌ وَشَفَتَانِ يَعْرِفُ المُؤْمِنَ مِنَ الكَافِرِ، فَقَد هَاجرتُ وأَنَا أعْرِفُ الجِهَادَ".
