3171. It was narrated from Zuhrah bin Ma'bad: "Abû Sâlih, the freed slave of 'Uthmân, said: 'I heard 'Uthmân bin 'Affân say: I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: Ribât (guarding the frontier) for one day in the cause of Allâh is better in rank than a thousand days spent within the residence.'" (Sahîh)

Arabic text

3169 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ زُهْرَةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ، مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنَ الْمَنَازِلِ»
