Commentary:
This Hadith tells us the benefit and reward of good intention. It induces one to cherish good
intentions and wish for noble deeds. Even if one is not able to fulfill some of them, he will get their reward. For this
reason, every Muslim should wish for martyrdom so that he can attain this distinction.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
The martyr
experiences no more pain in being slain than one of you experiences from the stinging of an ant
.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
This Hadith tells us how convenient martyrdom has been made by Allah. One who is martyred, feels
as much pain in martyrdom as a person ordinarily feels with the sting of an ant.

`Abdullah bin Abu Aufa (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: On one occasion the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) was confronting the enemy. He waited until the sun had declined. Then he stood up to address the people
and said, "
O people! Do not wish for an encounter with the enemy. Pray to Allah to grant you safety; (but) when you
encounter them, show patience, and know that Jannah is under the shades of the swords
.'' Then he (PBUH) said:
"
Allahumma munzilal-kitab, wa mujriyas-sahab, wa hazimal-Ahzab, ihzimhum wansurna alaihim (O Allah,
Revealer of the Book, Disperser of the clouds, Defeater of the Confederates, put our enemy to rout and support us
against them
).''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
1. This Hadith has already been mentioned, and we learn from it that it is better to start war in the afternoon because
this was the practice of the Prophet (PBUH).
2. The desire for war is prohibited, but when war becomes inevitable, one should not show his back to the enemy;
rather, one should fight to the best of his ability and be steadfast in it.
3. Along with steadfastness and patience in fighting, one should also pray for victory because all powers lie with
Allah and no one can gain victory without His Will.
The Hadith also mentions a supplication which one should make when he encounters the enemy.

Sahl bin Sa`d (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"
Supplications at two times are never turned down (or said, "Are seldom turned down''), a supplication after the
Adhan has been proclaimed, and a supplication during the battle combating the enemy
.''
[Abu Dawud].

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) set out to
participate in Jihad, he would supplicate: "
Allahumma Anta `adudi wa nasiri, bika ahulu, wa bika asulu, wa bika
uqatilu (O Allah, You are my Supporter and my Helper. With Your help I get strength, and with Your help I bounce
upon the enemy and defeat it, and with Your help I fight)
.''
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
Along with the physical resources for war, one should also pray for victory, and for that, it is
essential that one submits to Allah, remembers Him and seeks His Help. Prayer is a great source of strength and
support for a Muslim and he must make full use of it. The Hadith also teaches us what to say when one sets out for
Jihad.
