1619. Abū Hurairah narrated: "It was said, 'O Messenger of Allāh, what equals Jihād?' He said: 'Verily, you (people) are not capable of it.' So they repeated it to him two or three times, each time he said, 'You (people) are not capable of it.' Then he said the third time: 'The example of the Mujāhid in the path of Allāh is like the one who fasts and stands (in prayer) and does not slacken from Salāt, nor fasting, until the Mujāhid in the cause of Allāh returns.'" (Sahih) There are narrations on this topic from Ash-Shifā', 'Abdullāh bin Hubshī, Abū Mūsā, Abū Sa'eed, Umm Mālik Al-Bahziyyah, and Anas. This Hadīth is a Hasan Sahih. And it has been reported through more than one route from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ.

١٦١٩ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ: «قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا يَعْدِلُ الْجِهَادَ»؟ قَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَهُ فَرَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ: لَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَهُ فَقَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ: مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ مَثَلُ الْقَائِمِ الصَّائِمِ الَّذِي لَا يَفْتُرُ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ وَلَا صِيَامٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ الْمُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ الشِّفَاءِ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حُبْشِيٍّ، وَأَبِي مُوسَى، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَأُمِّ مَالِكٍ الْبَهْزِيَّةِ، وَأَنَسٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
