Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِشِعْبٍ فِيهِ عُيَيْنَةُ مَاءٍ عَذْبٍ فَأَعْجَبَهُ طِيبُهُ فَق
َالَ لَوْ أَقَمْتُ فِي هَذَا الشِّعْبِ فَاعْتَزَلْتُ النَّاسَ وَلَا أَفْعَلُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْمِرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّ مَقَامَ أَحَدِكُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صَلَاةِ سِتِّينَ عَامًا خَالِيًا أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ الْجَنَّةَ اغْزُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَنْ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ

English Translation
Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that a man from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a valley with a small spring of fresh water that pleased him. He said: 'How wonderful if I were to withdraw from the people and settle in this valley. I shall not do so until I seek permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' So he mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said: 'Do not do that, for the standing of one of you in the cause of Allah is better than his prayer in his house for seventy years. Do you not love that Allah forgive you and admit you to Paradise? Fight in the cause of Allah. Whoever fights in the cause of Allah for the time between two milkings of a camel, Paradise is guaranteed for him.'
