( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أَنْبَأَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ الْفَرَّاءُ، ثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ:
كَتَبْتُ إِلَى نَافِعٍ أَسْأَلُهُ مَا أَقْعَدَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنِ الْغَزْوِ ؟ قَالَ: فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ إِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يُغْزِي وَلَدَهُ وَيَحْمِلُ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ، وَمَا أَقْعَدَهُ عَنِ الْغَزْوِ إِلَّا وَصَايَا عُمَرَ وَصِبْيَانٌ صِغَارٌ، وَإِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يُغْزِي وَلَدَهُ وَيَحْمِلُ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ، يَرَى الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَفْضَلَ الْأَعْمَالِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ

I wrote to Nāfiʿ asking him what kept Ibn ʿUmar from taking part in military expeditions. He said: He wrote back to me: Ibn ʿUmar used to send his sons out on expeditions and would provide mounts for transport, and nothing kept him from taking part in expeditions except the bequests of ʿUmar and young children. And Ibn ʿUmar used to send his sons out on expeditions and would provide mounts for transport, considering jihad in the cause of God to be the best of deeds after prayer.
