Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب فضائل الجهاد باب ما جاء فى فضل الجهاد

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِى صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا يَعْدِلُ الْجِهَادَ قَالَ لاَ تَسْتَطِيعُونَهُ. فَرَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ لاَ تَسْتَطِيعُونَهُ. فَقَالَ فِى الثَّالِثَةِ مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَثَلُ الْقَائِمِ الصَّائِمِ الَّذِى لاَ يَفْتُرُ مِنْ صَلاَةٍ وَلاَ صِيَامٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ الْمُجَاهِدُ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنِ الشَّفَاءِ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُبْشِىٍّ وَأَبِى مُوسَى وَأَبِى سَعِيدٍ وَأُمِّ مَالِكٍ الْبَهْزِيَّةِ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رُوِىَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, was asked, "What equals Jihād (1) (in reward)?" He replied, "You cannot endure it!" The question was put to him two or three times and every time he replied, "You cannot endure it". On the third time he added, "The example of a striver in the way of God is that of a person who continuously offers prayer and observes fast; [and] who does not get tired of praying nor [of] fasting until the striver in the way of God returns [from Jihād]." Footnotes: (1) Jihād is defined as any earnest striving for the sake of God that promotes righteousness and stands against wrong-doing. If it entails fighting, no woman, child or innocent civilian may be harmed, nor a tree cut down. Islām calls for moderation and tolerance, and abhors and forbids extremism, terrorism, oppression and discrimination. Click on ḥadīth to read more
