On the day of Hunayn we travelled with the

(peace_be_upon_him).
A horseman came and said: Apostle of Allah, I
went before you and climbed a certain mountain where saw Hawazin all together
with their women, cattle, and sheep, having gathered at Hunayn.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
smiled and said: That will be the booty of the Muslims tomorrow if Allah
wills. He then asked: Who will be on guard tonight?
Anas ibn AbuMarthad al-Ghanawi said: I shall
, Apostle of Allah. He said: Then mount your horse. He then mounted his horse,
and came to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him).
The Apostle of Allah said to him: Go forward
to this ravine till you get to the top of it. We should not be exposed to
danger from your side. In the morning the Apostle of of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) came out to his place of prayer, and offered two rak'ahs.
He then said: Have you seen any sign of your horseman?
They said: We have not, Apostle of Allah. The
announcement of the time for prayer was then made, and while the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) was saying the prayer, he began to glance towards
the ravine. When he finished his prayer and uttered salutation, he said: Cheer
up, for your horseman has come. We therefore began to look between the trees
in the ravine, and sure enough he had come.
He stood beside the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him), saluted him and said: I continued till I reached the top
of this ravine where the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) commanded me,
and in the morning I looked down into both ravines but saw no one.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
asked him: Did you dismount during the night?
He replied: No, except to pray or to relieve
myself. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: You have ensured your
entry to (Paradise). No blame will be attached to you supposing you do not
work after it.

Narrated AbuAyyub:
AbuImran said: We went out on an expedition
from Medina with the intention of (attacking) Constantinople. AbdurRahman ibn
Khalid ibn al-Walid was the leader of the company. The Romans were just
keeping their backs to the walls of the city. A man (suddenly) attacked the
enemy.
Thereupon the people said: Stop! Stop! There
is no god but Allah. He is putting himself into danger.
AbuAyyub said: This verse was revealed about
us, the group of the Ansar (the Helpers). When Allah helped His Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him) and gave Islam dominance, we said (i.e. thought): Come on!
Let us stay in our property and improve it.
Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, revealed, "And
spend of your substance in the cause of Allah, and make not your hands
contribute to (your destruction)". To put oneself into danger means that we
stay in our property and commit ourselves to its improvement, and abandon
fighting (i.e. jihad).
AbuImran said: AbuAyyub continued to strive
in the cause of Allah until he (died and) was buried in Constantinople.
Book 14, Number 2507:
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir:
I heard the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) say: Allah, Most High, will cause three persons to enter
Paradise for one arrow: the maker when he has a good motive in making it, the
one who shoots it, and the one who hands it; so shoot and ride, but your
shooting is dearer to me than your riding. Everything with which a man amuses
himself is vain except three (things): a man's training of his horse, his
playing with his wife, and his shooting with his bow and arrow. If anyone
abandons archery after becoming an adept through distaste for it, it is a
blessing he has abandoned; or he said: for which he has been ungrateful.
Book 14, Number 2509:
Narrated Mu'adh ibn Jabal:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said:
Fighting is of two kinds: The one who seeks Allah's favour, obeys the leader,
gives the property he values, treats his associates gently and avoids doing
mischief, will have the reward for all the time whether he is asleep or awake;
but the one who fights in a boasting spirit, for the sake of display and to
gain a reputation, who disobeys the leader and does mischief in the earth will
not return credit or without blame.
Book 14, Number 2510:
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
A man said: Apostle of Allah, a man wishes to
take part in jihad in Allah's path desiring some worldly advantage? The
Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: He will have not reward. The people thought
it terrible, and they said to the man: Go back to the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him), for you might not have made him understand well. He,
therefore, (went and again) asked: Apostle of Allah, a man wishes to take part
in jihad in Allah's path desiring some worldly advantage? He replied: There is
no reward for him. They again said to the man: Return to the Apostle of Allah.
He, therefore, said to him third time. He replied: There is no reward for him.
Book 14, Number 2513:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:
Apostle of Allah, tell me about jihad and
fighting. He replied: Abdullah ibn Amr, if you fight with endurance seeking
from Allah your reward, Allah will resurrect you showing endurance and seeking
your reward from Him, but, if you fight for vain show seeking to acquire much,
Allah will resurrect you making a vain show and seeking to acquire much. In
whatever you fight or are killed, Abdullah ibn Amr, in that state Allah will
resurrect you.
Book 14, Number 2514:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: When
your brethren were smitten at the battle of Uhud, Allah put their spirits in
the crops of green birds which go down to the rivers of Paradise, eat its
fruit and nestle in lamps of gold in the shade of the Throne. Then when they
experienced the sweetness of their food, drink and rest, they asked: Who will
tell our brethren about us that we are alive in Paradise provided with
provision, in order that they might not be disinterested in jihad and recoil
in war? Allah Most High said: I shall tell them about you; so Allah sent down;
"And do not consider those who have been killed in Allah's path." till the end
of the verse.
Book 14, Number 2515:

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) made
a brotherhood between two men, one of whom was killed (in Allah's path), and a
week or thereabouts later the other died, and we prayed at his funeral). The
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) asked: What did you say? We replied: We
prayed for him and said: O Allah, forgive him, and join him to his companion.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: What about his prayers since
the time the other died, and his fasting since the time the other died--the
narrator Shu'bah doubted the words, "his fasting--and his deeds since the time
the other died. The distance between them is just like the distance between
heaven and earth.
Book 14, Number 2519:
Narrated AbuAyyub al-Ansari:
AbuAyyub heard the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) say: Capitals will be conquered at your hands, and you
will have to raise companies in large armies. A man will be unwilling to join
a company, so he will escape from his people and go round the tribes offering
himself to them, saying: Whose place may I take in such and such expedition?
Whose place may I take in such and such expedition? Beware: That man is a
hireling to the last drop of his blood.

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
announced an expedition, and I was a very old man and I had no servant. I,
therefore, sought a hireling who would serve instead of me, and I would give
him his portion. So I found a man. When the time of departure arrived, he came
to me and said: I do not know what would be the portions, and how much would
be my portion. So offer something (as wages) to me, whether there would be any
portion or not. I offered three dinars (as his wages) for him. When some booty
arrived, I wanted to offer him his portion. But I remembered the dinars, so I
went to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and mentioned the matter to him. He
said: All I can find for him regarding this expedition of his in this world
and the next is three dinars which were offered him.

(peace_be_upon_him) from the Yemen. He asked (him): Have you anyone (of your
relatives) in the Yemen? He replied: My parents. He asked: Did they permit
you? He replied: No. He said: Go back to them and ask for their permission. If
they permit you, then fight (in the path of Allah), otherwise be devoted to
them.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Three
things are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters,
"There is no god but Allah" and not to declare him unbeliever whatever sin he
commits, and not to excommunicate him from Islam for his any action; and jihad
will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until
the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal
(Antichrist). The tyranny of any tyrant and the justice of any just (ruler)
will not invalidate it. One must have faith in Divine decree.
Book 14, Number 2527:
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said:

major sins.

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) sent
us on foot to get spoil, but we returned without getting any. When he saw the
signs of distress on our faces, he stood up on our faces and said: O Allah, do
not put them under my care, for I would be too weak to care for them; do not
put them in care of themselves, for they would be incapable of that, and do
not put them in the care of men, for they would choose the best things for
themselves. He then placed his hand on my head and said: Ibn Hawalah, when you
see the caliphate has settled in the holy land, earthquakes, sorrows and
serious matters will have drawn near and on that day the Last Hour will be
nearer to mankind than this hand of mine is to your head.

Lord Most High is pleased with a man who fights in the path of Allah, the

was a sin (to flee away from the battlefield), so he returned, and his blood
was shed. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, says to His angels: Look at My
servant; he returned seeking what I have for him (i.e. the reward), and
fearing (the punishment) I have, until his blood was shed.

Where is so-and-so? They said: At Uhud. He then put on his coat of mail and
rode his horse; he then proceeded towards them. When the Muslims saw him, they
said: Keep away, Amir. He said: I have become a believer. He fought until he
was wounded. He was then taken to his family wounded. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh came to
his sister: Ask him (whether he fought) out of partisanship, out of anger for
them, or out of anger for Allah. He said: Out of anger of Allah and His
Apostle. He then died and entered Paradise. He did not offer any prayer for
Allah.
Book 14, Number 2533:
Narrated AbuSalam:
AbuSalam reported on the authority of a man
from the companion of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him). He said: We attacked a
tribe of Juhaynah. A man from the Muslims pursued a man of them, and struck

said: If anyone fights in Allah's path as long as the time between two
milkings of a she-camel, Paradise will be assured for him. If anyone sincerely
asks Allah for being killed and then dies or is killed, there will be a reward
of a martyr for him. Ibn al-Musaffa added from here: If anyone is wounded in
Allah's path, or suffers a misfortune, it will come on the Day of resurrection
as copious as possible, its colour saffron, and its odour musk; and if anyone
suffers from ulcers while in Allah's path, he will have on him the stamp of
the martyrs.

Thee in this journey of ours, uprightness, piety and such deeds as are
pleasing to Thee. O Allah, make easy for us this journey of ours and make its
length short for us. O Allah, Thou art the Companion in the journey, and the

Lord." The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and his armies said: "Allah is Most
