The hadith: We returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question of Fatwa No. ( 16492 )
Q 3: What is the degree of authenticity of the hadith:
We returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihadرجعنا من الجهاد الأصغر إلى الجهاد الأكبر
and we ask for its interpretation and what is intended by it; because this hadith is interpreted according to the desires of some, and that is to divert Muslims from fighting the enemies of Islam and directing them toward the gentle jihad, the jihad of the self, wealth, desire, and fitnah?

A 3: The hadith:
We returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihadرجعنا من الجهاد الأصغر إلى الجهاد الأكبر
It is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, it is a weak hadith, as the imams of hadith have explicitly stated.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
