حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أُهْرِيقَ دَمُهُ وَعُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us: Yaʿlā ibn ʿUbayd narrated to us: Ḥajjāj ibn Dīnār narrated to us, from Muḥammad ibn Dhakwān, from Shahr ibn Ḥawshab, from ʿAmr ibn ʿAbasah, who said: I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: “Messenger of God, which striving in battle is best?” He said: “One in which your blood is shed and your horse is hamstrung.”
