حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْمٍ الأَنْطَاكِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ وُهَيْبٍ الْمَكِّيِّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَغْزُ وَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ مَاتَ عَلَى شُعْبَةٍ مِنْ نِفَاقٍ». قَالَ ابْنُ سَهْمٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ فَنُرَى أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: One who died but did not fight in the way of Allah nor did he express any desire (or determination) for Jihad died the death of a hypocrite. Abdullah ibn Mubarak said: We think the hadith pertained to the time of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

ইসহাক ইবনু ইবরাহীম (রহঃ) ... আ'মাশ (রহঃ) একই সানাদে পূর্বোক্ত দু'জনের অনুরূপ বর্ণিত হয়েছে। এতে আরো আছে, আমি অবশ্যই সে দৃষ্টান্তগুলো জানি যা রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম সালাত আদায় করতেন। প্রতি রাকাআতে দু'টি করে সূরাহ, এভাবে দশ রাকাআতে বিশটি সূরাহ। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৭৮০, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

عیسیٰ بن یونس نے کہا : اعمش نے ہم سے اپنی اسی سند کے ساتھ ان دونوں ( وکیع اور ابو معاویہ ) کی حدیث کی طرح بیان کی ۔ اس میں ہے انھوں ( عبداللہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ) نے کہا : میں ان ایک جیسی سورتوں کو جانتا ہوں جو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم دو دو ملا کر ایک رکعت میں پڑھتے تھے ، بیس سورتیں دس رکعتوں میں ۔

Bize, bu hadîsi İshâk b. İbrahim de rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize îsâ b. Yûnus haber verdi. (Dediki): Bize A'meş bu isnâdda, yukarkilerin hadîsleri gibi rivâyetde bulundu; ve Dediki: «Ben, Resûlulah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in iki tânesini bir rek'âtda okuduğu denk sûreleri pek âlâ bilirim. On rek'âtda yirmi sûre (okurdu)

What it means

Any man who dies although he was capable of fighting in the cause of Allah but neither fought nor had the intention to do so, has something of hypocrisy. The intention is proved by preparing the gear needed for fighting.

Allah, the Almighty, says: {And if they had intended to go forth, they would have made some preparation for it} [Sūrat At-Tawbah: 46]. Whoever dies in this state is similar to the hypocrites and laggers who do not take part in Jihad. Since whoever imitates a category of people does belong to them, therefore every believer must have the intention of making Jihad.
