أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَبَلَةَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ يَنْوِ إِلاَّ عِقَالاً فَلَهُ مَا نَوَى " .
Amr ibn Ali informed us; he said: Abd al-Rahman narrated to us; he said: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Jablah ibn Atiyyah, from Yahya ibn al-Walid ibn Ubadah ibn al-Samit, from his grandfather, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever goes on an expedition in the cause of Allah, intending nothing but a hobble-cord, will have what he intended.
Translation notes
An iqal is a small cord used to hobble a camel; the report emphasizes that a person receives according to his intention.
قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ يَنْوِ إِلاَّ عِقَالاً فَلَهُ مَا نَوَى " .
The word عِقَال refers to a small hobble-cord, commonly for tethering a camel; the report does not elaborate on its context.
Confirm whether hobble-cord is the preferred rendering of عقال in the project terminology.
