مَنْ سَأَلَ وَهْوَ قَائِمٌ عَالِمًا جَالِسًا

One who asks a seated scholar while standing

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا الْقِتَالُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ أَحَدَنَا يُقَاتِلُ غَضَبًا، وَيُقَاتِلُ حَمِيَّةً. فَرَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ رَأْسَهُ ـ قَالَ وَمَا رَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ رَأْسَهُ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَائِمًا ـ فَقَالَ " مَنْ قَاتَلَ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ".

Translation

Abu Musa al-Ash'ari reported: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allah, what is fighting in the cause of Allah? For one of us fights out of anger, and fights out of tribal zeal.” He raised his head to him – he said: and he only raised his head to him because he (the man) was standing – and said: “Whoever fights so that the word of Allah is the highest, he is in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.”

Translator’s note: Abdullah ibn Qays is Abu Musa al-Ash'ari.

Abu Musa al-Asch'ari berichtete: Ein Mann kam zum Propheten ﷺ und sagte: „O Gesandter Allahs, was ist der Kampf auf dem Weg Allahs? Denn einer von uns kämpft aus Zorn, und er kämpft aus Stammeseifer.“ Da hob er seinen Kopf zu ihm – er sagte: Und er hob seinen Kopf zu ihm nur, weil er (der Mann) stand – und sagte: „Wer kämpft, damit das Wort Allahs das höchste ist, der ist auf dem Weg Allahs, des Mächtigen und Gewaltigen.“

Ebû Mûsâ el-Eş'arî (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Bir adam Nebî'ye ﷺ gelip: “Ey Allah'ın Resûlü, Allah yolunda savaş nedir? Zira bizden biri öfkeden dolayı savaşıyor, kabile taassubundan dolayı savaşıyor.” dedi. Nebî ﷺ başını ona kaldırdı – (Ebû Mûsâ) dedi ki: Başını ona ancak (adam) ayakta olduğu için kaldırdı – ve şöyle buyurdu: “Kim Allah'ın kelimesi en yüce olsun diye savaşırsa o, Allah Azze ve Celle'nin yolundadır.”
