حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ حَيْوَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ وَابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَسْلَمَ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ نُرِيدُ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةَ وَعَلَی الْجَمَاعَةِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ وَالرُّومُ مُلْصِقُو ظُهُورِهِمْ بِحَائِطِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَحَمَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَی الْعَدُوِّ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ مَهْ مَهْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يُلْقِي بِيَدَيْهِ إِلَی التَّهْلُکَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ إِنَّمَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِينَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَمَّا نَصَرَ اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ وَأَظْهَرَ الْإِسْلَامَ قُلْنَا هَلُمَّ نُقِيمُ فِي أَمْوَالِنَا وَنُصْلِحُهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی وَأَنْفِقُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيکُمْ إِلَی التَّهْلُکَةِ فَالْإِلْقَائُ بِالْأَيْدِي إِلَی التَّهْلُکَةِ أَنْ نُقِيمَ فِي أَمْوَالِنَا وَنُصْلِحَهَا وَنَدَعَ الْجِهَادَ قَالَ أَبُو عِمْرَانَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّی دُفِنَ بِالْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ

سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2512

Narrated Abu Ayyub: Abu Imran said: We went out on an expedition from Madina with the intention of (attacking) Constantinople. Abdur Rahman ibn Khalid ibn al-Walid was the leader of the company. The Romans were just keeping their backs to the walls of the city. A man (suddenly) attacked the enemy. Thereupon the people said: Stop! Stop! There is no god but Allah. He is putting himself into danger. Abu Ayyub said: This verse was revealed about us, the group of the Ansar (the Helpers). When Allah helped His Prophet ﷺ and gave Islam dominance, we said (i. e. thought): Come on! Let us stay in our property and improve it. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, revealed, "And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah, and make not your hands contribute to (your destruction)". To put oneself into danger means that we stay in our property and commit ourselves to its improvement, and abandon fighting (i. e. jihad). Abu Imran said: Abu Ayyub continued to strive in the cause of Allah until he (died and) was buried in Constantinople.
