Jihad (Kitab Al-Jihad)

Hafs ibn Umar and Muslim ibn Ibrahim narrated to us: Shu’bah narrated to us, from Muharib ibn Dithar, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah disliked a man’s arriving at night to visit his family.

Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Jarir narrated to us, from Mughira, from al-Sha’bi, from Jabir, from the Prophet, who said: ‘The best time for a man to visit his family after returning from a journey is at the beginning of the night.’

Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated to us: Hushaym narrated to us: Sayyar informed us, from al-Sha’bi, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: We were travelling with the Prophet. When we were about to enter, he said, ‘Wait until we enter at night, so the woman whose hair is disheveled can comb it, and the woman whose husband has been away can groom herself with a razor.’ Abu Dawud said: Al-Zuhri said that arriving at night means after the night prayer. Abu Dawud said: There is no harm in arriving after the sunset prayer.

Ibn al-Sarh narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from al-Sa’ib ibn Yazid, who said: When the Prophet arrived in Madinah from the expedition to Tabuk, the people came out to welcome him. I met him with the children at Thaniyyat al-Wada’.

Musa ibn Ismail narrated to us: Hammad narrated to us: Thabit al-Bunani informed us, from Anas ibn Malik, that a young man from the tribe of Aslam said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I want to go on an expedition, but I have no property with which to equip myself.’ He said, ‘Go to so-and-so from the Ansar. He had equipped himself, but then fell ill. Tell him that the Messenger of Allah sends you greetings, and tell him to hand over to me what he had equipped himself with.’ The young man went to him and told him this. The man said to his wife, ‘So-and-so, give him what you equipped me with, and do not hold any of it back. By Allah, do not hold anything back from him, so that Allah may bless it.’

Muhammad ibn al-Mutawakkil al-Asqalani and al-Hasan ibn Ali narrated to us: Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us: Ibn Jurayj informed me: Ibn Shihab informed me: Abd al-Rahman ibn Abdullah ibn Ka’b ibn Malik informed me, from his father Abdullah ibn Ka’b and his uncle Ubaydullah ibn Ka’b, from their father Ka’b ibn Malik: The Prophet would only return from a journey in the daytime. Al-Hasan said: in the forenoon. When he returned from a journey, he went to the mosque, prayed two units of prayer there, then sat there.

Muhammad ibn Mansur al-Tusi narrated to us: Ya’qub narrated to us: My father narrated to us, from Ibn Ishaq, who said: Nafi’ narrated to me, from Ibn Umar: When the Messenger of Allah returned from his Hajj, he entered Madinah and made his camel kneel at the door of his mosque. Then he entered it, prayed two units of prayer there, and went home. Nafi’ said: Ibn Umar used to do the same.

Ja’far ibn Musafir al-Tinnisi narrated to us: Ibn Abi Fudayk narrated to us: Al-Zam’i narrated to us, from al-Zubayr ibn Uthman ibn Abdullah ibn Suraqah, that Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Thawban informed him, that Abu Sa’id al-Khudri informed him that the Messenger of Allah said, ‘Beware of al-qusamah.’ We asked, ‘What is al-qusamah?’ He said, ‘It is something shared among people, from which someone comes and takes away.’

Abdullah al-Qa’nabi narrated to us: Abd al-Aziz—that is, Ibn Muhammad—narrated to us, from Sharik—that is, Ibn Abi Nimr—from Ata ibn Yasar, from the Prophet, with a similar report. He said: ‘A man may be put in charge of a group of people, then take from this person’s share and that person’s share.’

Al-Rabi ibn Nafi narrated to us: Mu’awiyah—that is, Ibn Sallam—narrated to us, from Zayd—that is, Ibn Sallam—who heard Abu Sallam say: Ubayd Allah ibn Salman narrated to me that a man from among the Companions of the Prophet told him: When we conquered Khaybar, they brought out their spoils of goods and captives, and the people began buying and selling their spoils. After the Messenger of Allah had prayed, a man came to him and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I have made a profit today such as no one in this valley has made.’ He said, ‘Woe to you! What profit have you made?’ The man said, ‘I kept buying and selling until I had made a profit of three hundred uqiyyahs.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Shall I tell you of a man whose profit is better than yours?’ He asked, ‘What is it, Messenger of Allah?’ He replied, ‘Two units of prayer after the prayer.’

Musaddad narrated to us: Isa ibn Yunus narrated to us: My father informed me, from Abu Ishaq, from Dhu al-Jawshan—a man of al-Dhibab—who said: After the battle of Badr had ended, I came to the Prophet with a colt of my mare called al-Qarha. I said, ‘Muhammad, I have brought you al-Qarha’s colt, so that you may take it.’ He said, ‘I have no need of it. But if you wish, I will exchange it for one of the finest coats of mail from Badr.’ I said, ‘I would not exchange it today for a prize horse.’ He said, ‘Then I have no need of it.’

Muhammad ibn Dawud ibn Sufyan narrated to us: Yahya ibn Hassan narrated to us: Sulayman ibn Musa Abu Dawud informed us: Ja’far ibn Sa’d ibn Samurah ibn Jundub narrated to us: Khubayb ibn Sulayman narrated to me, from his father Sulayman ibn Samurah, from Samurah ibn Jundub. To proceed: The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Whoever associates with a polytheist and lives with him is like him.’
