English translation

[4869] 110 - (1878) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: “It was said to the Prophet ﷺ: ‘What is equivalent to Jihâd in the cause of Allâh (glorified and exalted is He)?’ He said: ‘You are not able for that.’” He said: “They repeated the question two or three times, and each time he (ﷺ) said: ‘You are not able for that.’ The third time, he said: ‘The likeness of one who strives in the cause of Allâh is that of one who fasts, prays Qiyâm and obeys Allâh, and does not falter in his fasting or prayer, until the one who is fighting in Jihâd in the cause of Allâh returns.’”

Arabic text

110 - (1878) حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا يَعْدِلُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ؟ قَالَ: «لَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَهُ»، قَالَ: فَأَعَادُوا عَلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ، أَوْ ثَلَاثًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ: «لَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَهُ»، وَقَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ: «مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ الْقَانِتِ بِآيَاتِ اللهِ، لَا يَفْتُرُ مِنْ صِيَامٍ، وَلَا صَلَاةٍ، حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ الْمُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى»،
