أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، حدثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، حدثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حدثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حدثنا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ، مَوْلَى بَنِي عَامِرٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ السَّكْسَكِيِّ
قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا لَكَ تَحُجُّ، وَتَعْتَمِرُ وَقَدْ تَرَكْتَ الْغَزْوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " وَيْلَكَ إِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ بُنِيَ عَلَى خَمْسٍ تَعْبُدُ اللهَ، وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ، وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ، وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ، وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ " قَالَ: فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: " كَذَلِكَ حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ الْجِهَادُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَسَنٌ " قَالَ أحمد: وَإِنَّمَا أَرَادَ - وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ - أَنَّ الْجِهَادَ مِنْ فُرُوضِ الْكِفَايَاتِ، وَلَيْسَ بِفَرْضٍ عَلَى الْأَعْيَانِ "

He said: I came to Medina and entered upon ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar, and a man from the people of Iraq came to him and said: "O Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, what is the matter with you that you perform Hajj and ʿUmrah while you have abandoned fighting in the cause of God?" He said: "Woe to you! Faith is built upon five: that you worship God, establish the prayer, give the zakah, perform Hajj to the House, and fast Ramadan." He said: So he repeated it to him, and ʿAbdullāh said: "Thus the Messenger of God ﷺ narrated to us; then jihad after that is good." Aḥmad said: And what he meant - and God knows best - is that jihad is among the collective obligations (farḍ kifāyah), and is not an individual obligation (farḍ ʿayn).
