أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ کَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ الْخَاشِعِ الرَّاکِعِ السَّاجِدِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3135
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم say: ‘The parable of a Mujahid who strives in the cause of Allah — and Allah knows best who in His cause — is that of one who fasts, prays Qiyam, focuses with proper humility, bows and prostrates.” (Sahih)
