English translation

2770. It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Khālid bin Abu Tuwail said: I heard Anas bin Mālik saying: I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "Standing guard one night in the cause of Allâh is better than a man fasting and praying, among his family, for a thousand years. The year is three hundred and sixty days and a day is like a thousand years.” (Maudu’)

Arabic text

2770 - حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ الرَّمْلِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ شَابُورَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي الطَّوِيلِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " حَرَسُ لَيْلَةٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صِيَامِ رَجُلٍ وَقِيَامِهِ فِي أَهْلِهِ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ: السَّنَةُ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ وَسِتُّونَ يَوْمًا، وَالْيَوْمُ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ "

Commentary

During Jihâd, guarding the frontiers is a very great deed. Many Ahâdîth prove the virtues of this act as mentioned in the previous chapters.
