Hadith 113
۞
7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from Suwayd al-Qalanisiy from Sama‘ah from abu Basir who has said the following
“I asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘Which kind of Jihad is more virtuous?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is the one in which the legs of one’s horse are cut off and his own blood is spilled for the cause of Allah.’”
7- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ سُوَيْدٍ الْقَلانِسِيِّ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ مَنْ عُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ وَأُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ.
