۞
5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from certain individuals of his people from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Asamm from Haydarah who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Jihad (serving in the army) is the most virtuous task except obligatory (prayers) matters.”
5- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأصَمِّ عَنْ حَيْدَرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
الْجِهَادُ أَفْضَلُ الأشْيَاءِ بَعْدَ الْفَرَائِضِ.
