حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رضى الله عنها

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، نَرَى الْجِهَادَ أَفْضَلَ الْعَمَلِ، أَفَلَا نُجَاهِدُ قَالَ: «لَا، لَكِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْجِهَادِ حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ»

(the mother of the faithful believers) I said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! We consider Jihad as the best deed.” The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “The best Jihad (for women) is Hajj Mabrur.”

উম্মুল মু‘মিনীন ‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! জিহাদকে আমরা সর্বোত্তম ‘আমল মনে করি। কাজেই আমরা কি জিহাদ করবো না? তিনি বললেনঃ না, বরং তোমাদের জন্য সর্বোত্তম জিহাদ হল, হাজ্জে মাবরূর। (১৮৬১, ২৭৮৪, ২৮৭৫, ২৮৭৬)

ہم سے عبدالرحمٰن بن مبارک نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے خالد بن عبداللہ طحان نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہمیں حبیب بن ابی عمرہ نے خبر دی، انہیں عائشہ بنت طلحہ نے اور انہیں ام المؤمنین عائشہ صدیقہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے کہا کہ انہوں نے پوچھا یا رسول اللہ!

ہم دیکھتے ہیں کہ جہاد سب نیک کاموں سے بڑھ کر ہے۔ پھر ہم بھی کیوں نہ جہاد کریں؟ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ نہیں بلکہ سب سے افضل جہاد حج ہے جو مبرور ہو۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdurrahman bin Al Mubarak] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Khalid] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Habib bin Abu 'Amrah] dari [Aisyah binti Tholhah] dari ['Aisyah Ummul Mukminin radliallahu 'anha] ia berkata: "Wahai Rasulullah, kami memandang bahwa jihad adalah sebaik-baiknya amal, maka apakah kami tidak boleh berjihad?". Beliau bersabda: "Tidak, namun sebaik-baik jihad bagi kalian (para wanita) adalah haji mabrur

Muminlerin annesi Aişe r.anha şöyle demiştir: "Ey Allah'ın Resulü! Biliyoruz ki en faziletli amel cihad'dır. Peki biz cihad edemeyecek miyiz?" Bunun üzerine Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem), "Hayır, [siz kadınlar için] en faziletli cihad hacc-ı mebrur (kabul olunmuş hac) dır" buyurmuştur. Tekrar:

What it means

The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to consider Jihad in the cause of Allah and fighting the enemies among the best of deeds. Therefore, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) if women should perform Jihad. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) guided them to the best Jihad they could perform, namely the Mabrūr Hajj that conforms with the Qur’an and Sunnah and that is free of sin and ostentation.

What it teaches

  • Jihad is one of the best deeds for men.
  • Hajj is better for women than Jihad and it is one of the best deeds for them.
  • Deeds vary in their merit according to the doer.
  • Hajj is called Jihad because it involves striving against one's self, sacrificing money, and exerting physical effort. It is, thus, a physical and financial act of worship, just like Jihad, in the cause of Allah.
