حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَطَّافُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ غَدْوَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا وَرَوْحَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا وَمَوْضِعُ سَوْطٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ رَوْحَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ.
English Translation
Yunus narrated to us: al-Attaf ibn Khalid narrated to us: Abu Hazim narrated to us, from Sahl ibn Sa'd, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "A morning expedition in the path of Allah is better than the world and all that is in it, and an evening expedition in the path of Allah is better than the world and all that is in it, and the space of a whip in Paradise is better than the world and all that is in it." Husayn narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Mutarrif narrated to us, from Abu Hazim, from Sahl ibn Sa'd, that he heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "An evening expedition in the path of Allah..." and he mentioned its meaning.
