HADITH الحديث

English Translation of Hadith  

Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Fight the polytheists with your wealth, lives and tongues.''

[Abu Dawud Hadith # 2504].

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah An-Nahl Ayat 73.And they worship others besides Allah, such as do not and cannot own any provision for them" This Hadith mentions three categories of Jihad, namely Jihad with wealth, Jihad with one's life and Jihad by speech. One should make Jihad as is warranted by the situation one is confronted with. That is, where a Muslim is required to sacrifice his life, he must sacrifice his life; where he is required to sacrifice his wealth, he should spend wealth; and where he is required to make Jihad by means of his speech, he should do it by speech. One should not hesitate to spend for the sake of Allah what is required by the situation.
