وَعَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا عَلَيْهَا»
Sahl ibn Sad reported God’s Messenger as saying, “Being stationed on the frontier in God’s path for a day is better than the world and what is on it.”
