حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
مَا عَمِلَ ابْنُ آدَمَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ أَنْجَى لَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ: مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ! وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، قَالَ: وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، [إِلَّا أَنْ] [١]تَضْرِبَ بِسَيْفِكَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ، ثُمَّ تَضْرِبَ بِهِ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ، ثَلَاثًا
