حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو حَصِينٍ، أَنَّ ذَكْوَانَ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يَعْدِلُ الْجِهَادَ. قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ أَجِدُهُ ـ قَالَ ـ هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ إِذَا خَرَجَ الْمُجَاهِدُ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ مَسْجِدَكَ فَتَقُومَ وَلاَ تَفْتُرَ وَتَصُومَ وَلاَ تُفْطِرَ ‏"‏. قَالَ وَمَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِنَّ فَرَسَ الْمُجَاهِدِ لَيَسْتَنُّ فِي طِوَلِهِ فَيُكْتَبُ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٍ.

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward)." He replied, "I do not find such a deed." Then he added, "Can you, while the Muslim fighter is in the battle-field, enter your mosque to perform prayers without cease and fast and never break your fast?" The man said, "But who can do that?" Abu Huraira added, "The Mujahid (i.e. Muslim fighter) is rewarded even for the footsteps of his horse while it wanders about (for grazing) tied in a long rope
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, এক ব্যক্তি আল্লাহর রাসূল (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম)-এর নিকট এসে বলল, আমাকে এমন কাজের কথা বলে দিন, যা জিহাদের সমতুল্য হয়। তিনি বলেন, আমি তা পাচ্ছি না। (অতঃপর বললেন,) তুমি কি এতে সক্ষম হবে যে, মুজাহিদ যখন বেরিয়ে যায়, তখন থেকে তুমি মসজিদে প্রবেশ করবে এবং দাঁড়িয়ে ‘ইবাদাত করবে এবং আলস্য করবে না, আর সিয়াম পালন করতে থাকবে এবং সিয়াম ভাঙ্গবে না। ব্যক্তিটি বলল, এটা কে পারবে? আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) বলেন, ‘মুজাহিদের ঘোড়া রশির দৈর্ঘ্য পর্যন্ত ঘোরাফেরা করে, এতেও তার জন্য নেকী লেখা হয়।’ (মুসলিম ৩৩/২৯ হাঃ ১৮৭৮, আহমাদ ৯৯৬৭) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৫৭৯, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
