وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، أَخْبَرَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

رضى الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ بَاعَدَ اللَّهُ بِذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Every servant of Allah who observes fast for a day in the way of Allah, Allah would remove, because of this day, his face farther from the Fire (of Hell) to the extent of seventy years distance.

আবূ বকর ইবনু আবূ শাইবাহ ও ইসহাক ইবনু ইবরাহীম (রহঃ) ..... হিশাম ইবনু উরওয়াহ্ (রহঃ) হতে বণিত। তিনি তার বর্ণনায় مُشْتَمِلاً শব্দের পরিবর্তে مُتَوَشِّحًا শব্দের উল্লেখ করেছেন।

۔ وکیع نے ہشام بن عروہ کی مذکورہ بالا سند سے حدیث سنائی ، ہاں یہ فرق ہے کہ اس نے متوشحا کہا مشتملا نہ کہا

{….} Bize bu hadîsi Ebu Bekir b. Ebi Şeybe ile İshâk b. İbrahim de Vekî'den rivayet ettiler. Yeki demiş ki: Bize Hişâm b. Urve bu isnadla rivayet etti. Yalnız o: Müteveşşih olarak» dedi: «Müştemil olarak» demedi

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that whoever fasts a day in Jihad, and it is said in Jihad or otherwise, sincerely for the sake of Allah, seeking reward and recompense from Allah, then by His grace, Allah will distance him from the Fire seventy years.

What it teaches

  • An-Nawawi said: The merit of fasting in the way of Allah, and it is meant to apply to whoever is not harmed by it, does not neglect any rights because of it, and does not hamper his ability to fight or fulfill any of the missions of his fight.
  • Encouraging and motivating the voluntary fast.
  • It is obligatory to offer the fast sincerely for Allah's sake and seek His pleasure, not for showing off, gaining a good reputation, or any other purpose.
  • As-Sindi said: His statement (in the way of Allah) may mean simply having a sincere intention or fasting while being a warrior in battle. The second meaning is the more apparent one.
  • Ibn Hajar said: His statement (seventy falls) refers to fall as a specific time of the year, but here it means a year. Fall is mentioned specifically instead of the other seasons—summer, winter, and spring—because fall is the most fruitful season, as it is the time when fruits are harvested.
