Hadith 3768

Volume 3

English

Ibn A’idh narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out for a man’s funeral. When the body was placed, Umar ibn al-Khattab said: Do not pray over him, O Messenger of Allah, for he is a sinful man. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned to the people and said: Has anyone among you seen him perform an act of Islam? A man said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah, he guarded one night in the way of Allah. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed over him, threw dust on him, and said: Your companions think you are among the people of the Fire, but I testify you are among the people of Paradise. He said: O Umar, do not ask about people’s deeds but about their innate disposition.

[Narrated by al-Bayhaqi in Shu‘ab al-Iman]

Hadith 3769

Volume 3

English

Abu Hurayra narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Among the best livelihoods for people is a man holding the reins of his horse in the way of Allah, flying on its back whenever he hears a call or alarm, seeking death or martyrdom where it may be found; or a man with a small flock at the peak of one of these hills or in one of these valleys, establishing prayer, giving zakat, and worshiping his Lord until certainty comes, being among people only in goodness.
Commentary and footnotes (1)

Note 1

(1) Regarding the saying: Or a man with a small flock at the peak of a hill, etc.: Al-Nawawi said: This hadith is evidence for those who prefer solitude over mixing with people. There is a well-known dispute on this. The Shafi‘i school and most scholars hold that mixing is better, provided one expects safety from trials. Some ascetics hold that solitude is better, citing this hadith. The majority respond that it applies to times of trials and wars or to someone who cannot protect others from himself or endure their harm. The prophets (peace be upon them), most Companions, Followers, scholars, and ascetics mixed with people, benefiting from attending Friday prayers, congregational prayers, funerals, visiting the sick, and circles of remembrance, among others. [Al-Marqah] In Al-Alamgiriyya: Abu Yusuf said it is disliked for a group to isolate themselves in a place, refrain from medicine, and worship Allah there, devoting themselves to it. Earning a lawful living and adhering to Friday and congregational prayers in cities is preferable and more obligatory. [Al-Tatarkhaniyya] This is supported by Abu Hurayra’s later narration: Do not do so, etc.

Hadith 3770

Volume 3

English

Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A man from the Prophet’s companions passed by a valley with a small sweet spring and was pleased with its goodness. He said: If I secluded myself from people and stayed in this valley. He mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who said: Do not do so, for one of you staying in the way of Allah is better than his prayer in his house for seventy years. Do you not love that Allah forgives you and admits you to Paradise? Fight in the way of Allah; whoever fights in the way of Allah for the time it takes to milk a camel, Paradise is guaranteed for him.

Volume 3

Abu Umama narrated: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on an expedition. A man passed by a cave with some water and thought to himself to stay there and renounce the world. He sought the Prophet’s permission, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: I was not sent with Judaism or Christianity but with the tolerant Hanifiyya. By the One in Whose Hand is Muhammad’s soul, a morning or evening in the way of Allah is better than the world and all it contains, and one of you standing in the ranks is better than his prayer for sixty years.

(1) Regarding the saying: And the one who equips has his reward and the fighter’s reward: Ibn al-Malik said: The equipper is one who pays a wage to a fighter to fight, and this is valid in our view. The fighter earns the reward of his effort, and the equipper earns two rewards: one for giving wealth in the way of Allah and one for enabling the fighter’s expedition. Al-Shafi‘i prohibited it and required its return if taken. In Sharh al-Sunna: It encourages the equipper and permits the one equipped. Scholars differed on taking wages for jihad. Al-Zuhri, Malik, and Abu Hanifa’s companions permitted it, while others did not. Al-Shafi‘i said: It is not permissible to fight for wages, and if taken, it must be returned.

(١)قوله: وللجاعل أجره وأجر الغازي: قال ابن الملك: الجاعل من يدفع جُعلا أي أجرة إلى غاز ليغزو، وهذا عندناصحيح، فيكون للغازي أجر سعيه، وللجاعل أجران أجر إعطاء المال في سبيل الله وأجر كونه سببا لغزو ذلكالغازي. ومنعه الشافعي، وأوجب ردَّه إن أخذه. وفي (شرح السنة) فيه ترغيب للجاعل ورخصة للمجعول له.واختلفوا في جواز أخذ الجُعل على الجهاد، فرخص فيه الزهري ومالك وأصحاب أبي حنيفة، ولم يجوزه قوم. وقالالشافعي: لا يجوز أن يعزو بجعل، فإن أخذه فعليه ردُّه.

Hadith 3774

Volume 3

English

Abu Ayyub narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Cities will be opened for you, and there will be mobilized armies with assigned expeditions. A man among you may dislike his assignment, abandon his people, and roam the tribes, offering himself: ‘Who will take my place for such-and-such?’ That man is a hireling to the last drop of his blood.

(1) Regarding the saying: Offering himself: ‘Who will take my place for such-and-such?’ etc.: In Rahmat al-Umma: Is hiring a substitute for jihad valid? Abu Hanifa, al-Shafi‘i, and Ahmad said: No, whether for a wage, reward, or voluntarily, and whether jihad is individually obligatory for the one hiring or not. Malik said: It is valid with a wage if jihad is not individually obligatory for the substitute, such as a slave or woman.

قوله

(١)قوله: يعرض نفسه عليهم من أكفيه بعث كذا إلخ: قال في (رحمة الأمة): هل تصح الاستنابة في الجهاد أم لا؟ قالأبو حنيفة والشافعي وأحمد: لا، سواء كانت بجعل أو أجرة أو تبرع، وسواء تعين على المستنيب أم لم يتعين. وقالمالك: تصح إذا كانت بجعل، ولم يكن الجهاد متعينا على النائب كالعبد والأمة.

Hadith 3775

Volume 3

English

Ya‘la ibn Umayya (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) announced an expedition, and I was an elderly man with no servant. I sought a hireling to take my place and found a man. I offered him three dinars. When his share of the spoils was due, I wanted to give him his share but remembered the dinars. I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned it to him. He said: I find no reward for him in this expedition, in this world or the Hereafter, except the dinars he was promised.

(2) Regarding the saying: I sought a hireling to take my place, etc.: In Al-Alamgiriyya: If the hireling is with the army, Muhammad said: If he abandons his employer’s service and fights, he earns a share; if he does not abandon service, he gets nothing. The principle is: One who enters to fight earns a share, whether he fights or not; one who enters for other purposes does not earn a share unless he fights and is fit to fight. One who enters as a fighter with the army, whether he fights or not due to illness or otherwise, gets his share—cavalry if a horseman, infantry if a foot soldier. One who enters as a fighter, is captured, and escapes before the spoils are distributed gets his share. [Al-Siraj al-Wahhaj]

(٢) قوله: فالتمست أجيرا يكفيني إلخ: قال في (العالمكيرية): إن كان الأجير مع العسكر. قال محمد : إن تركخدمة صاحبه، وقاتل استحق السهم، وإن لم يترك الخدمة فلا شيء له. والأصل أن من دخل للقتال استحق السهم،قاتل أو لم يقاتل، ومن دخل لغير القتال لم يستحق إلا أن يقاتل، وهو من أهل القتال، ومن دخل مقاتلً مع العسكر،فقاتل أو لم يقاتل لمرض أو غيره فله سهمه، إن كان فارسًا ففارس أو راجلً فراجل، ومن دخل مقاتلا ثم أسِر ثمتخلص قبل إخراج الغنيمة فله سهمه. كذا في (السراج الوهاب).

Note 1

(1) Regarding the saying: Strive against the polytheists, etc.: Its apparent meaning includes the sacred precinct, sacred months, and initiating fighting. Ibn al-Humam said: Fighting disbelievers who do not submit—Arab polytheists or others who neither submit nor pay jizya—is obligatory, even if they do not initiate, as the evidence for its obligation is not conditioned on their initiation. [Al-Marqah] In Al-Durr al-Mukhtar: The verse If they fight you, then fight them [Al-Baqarah: 191] and the prohibition in sacred months are abrogated by general verses like Kill the polytheists wherever you find them [At-Tawba: 5]. In Radd al-Muhtar: The command to fight was revealed progressively. Initially, the Prophet (ﷺ) was ordered to proclaim and turn away: Proclaim what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists [Al-Hijr: 94]; then to debate kindly: Invite to the way of your Lord [An-Nahl: 125]; then permission was given to fight: Permission is given to those who are fought [Al-Hajj: 39]; then they were ordered to fight: If they fight you, then fight them [Al-Baqarah: 191]; then to fight after the sacred months: When the sacred months have passed, kill the polytheists wherever you find them [At-Tawba: 5]; then absolutely: Fight in the way of Allah [Al-Baqarah: 244]. The matter settled on this. [Summarized from Sarkhasi]
