Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ جَاهِدُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Amr ibn Ali reported to us; he said: Abd al-Rahman narrated to us; he said: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Humayd, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Strive with your hands, your tongues, and your wealth.

Translation notes
  • The verb conveys striving or exertion in Allah’s cause; the narration names hands, tongues, and wealth as means.
