Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ جَهَّزَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ غَزَا وَمَنْ خَلَفَهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ بِخَيْرٍ فَقَدْ غَزَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Sulayman ibn Dawud and al-Harith ibn Miskin reported to us, by recitation to al-Harith while I listened, from Ibn Wahb, who said: Amr ibn al-Harith reported to me, from Bukayr ibn al-Ashajj, from Busra ibn Said, from Zayd ibn Khalid, from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: Whoever equips someone setting out to fight in the cause of Allah has himself fought; and whoever takes good care of his family in his absence has himself fought.

Translation notes

  • The second clause extends the reward to one who provides well for the fighter’s family while he is away.
