SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 52: FIGHTING FOR THE CAUSE OF ALLAH (JIHAAD)
I saw Marwan bin Al-Hakam sitting in the Mosque. So I came forward and sat by his side. He told
us that Zaid bin Thabit had told him that Allah’s Apostle had dictated to him the Divine Verse:
“Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause
of Allah with their wealth and lives.’ (4.95)
Zaid said, “Ibn-Maktum came to the Prophet while he was dictating to me that very Verse. On that
Ibn Um Maktum said, “O Allah’s Apostle! If I had power, I would surely take part in Jihad.” He was a
blind man. So Allah sent down revelation to His Apostle while his thigh was on mine and it became
so heavy for me that I feared that my thigh would be broken. Then that state of the Prophet was over
after Allah revealed “…except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame etc.) (4.95)

Allah’s Apostle went towards the Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and saw the Emigrants and the Ansar dig –

fatigue and hunger he said, “O Allah! The real life is that of the Here-after, (so please) forgive the

The Emigrants and the Ansar started digging the trench around Medina carrying the earth on

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 90:
Narrated Al-Bara:
On the day (of the battle) of Al-Ahzab (i.e. clans) I saw the Prophet carrying earth, and the earth
was covering the whiteness of his abdomen. And he was saying, “Without You (O Allah!) we would
have got no guidance, nor given in charity, nor prayed. So please bless us with tranquility and make
firm our feet when we meet our enemies.
Indeed (these) people have rebelled against (oppressed) us but never shall we yield if they try to
bring affliction upon us.”
