2504 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «جَاهِدُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتِكُمْ»

Commentary

Since all of the religions is commanding good and forbidding evil, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ explained many of its elements with the same levels of commanding good and forbidding evil; that is, changing the evil into goodness with the hand if one is able, if not then with the tongue, and if not then in the heart (see nos. 1140, and 4340). Similar is the case with Hijrah and Jihād, all of it is commanding good and forbidding evil, and it is required upon every Muslim, within their ability.
