الْجِهَادُ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ

Striving (jihad) is part of faith

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " انْتَدَبَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ خَرَجَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ لاَ يُخْرِجُهُ إِلاَّ إِيمَانٌ بِي وَتَصْدِيقٌ بِرُسُلِي أَنْ أُرْجِعَهُ بِمَا نَالَ مِنْ أَجْرٍ أَوْ غَنِيمَةٍ، أَوْ أُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَلَوْلاَ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي مَا قَعَدْتُ خَلْفَ سَرِيَّةٍ، وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ أُحْيَا، ثُمَّ أُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ أُحْيَا، ثُمَّ أُقْتَلُ ".

حَدَّثَنَا حَرَمِيُّ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ،

Translation

Abu Hurairah reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “Allah has guaranteed for whoever goes out in His cause – nothing driving him out but faith (iman) in Me and belief in My messengers – that I will bring him back with whatever reward or spoils he has gained, or admit him into Paradise. Were it not that it would be hard on my community, I would not stay behind any expedition. And I would love to be killed in the cause of Allah, then brought back to life, then killed, then brought back to life, then killed.”

Translator’s note: In the first sentence the speech shifts, as in the Arabic, to Allah speaking in the first person.

Abu Huraira berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ sagte: „Allah hat dem, der auf Seinem Weg auszieht – ihn treibt nichts anderes hinaus als der Glaube an Mich und das Bekenntnis zur Wahrhaftigkeit Meiner Gesandten –, zugesagt, dass Ich ihn mit dem zurückkehren lasse, was er an Lohn oder Beute erlangt hat, oder ihn ins Paradies eintreten lasse. Wäre es nicht, dass ich es meiner Gemeinschaft schwer machen würde, so bliebe ich hinter keinem Trupp zurück. Und ich wünschte, ich würde auf dem Weg Allahs getötet, dann wieder lebendig gemacht, dann getötet, dann wieder lebendig gemacht, dann getötet.“

Translator’s note: Im ersten Satz geht die Rede wie im Arabischen in die Ich-Form Allahs über.

Türkçe

Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “Allah, kendi yolunda çıkan ve onu ancak Bana iman ve peygamberlerimi tasdik çıkaran kimseye, onu elde ettiği sevap veya ganimetle geri döndürmeyi ya da cennete koymayı üstlenmiştir. Ümmetime ağır gelmeyecek olsaydı, hiçbir seriyyenin arkasında oturup kalmazdım. Allah yolunda öldürülmeyi, sonra diriltilmeyi, sonra öldürülmeyi, sonra diriltilmeyi, sonra öldürülmeyi isterdim.”

Translator’s note: İlk cümlede, Arapçadaki gibi, söz Allah'ın birinci şahıs anlatımına geçer. Seriyye: küçük askerî birlik.
