Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... on its topic, if Allah wills, the twelfth benefit in it is the report regarding the virtue of good speech, good character, and doing good to the poor and feeding them, and that this is among the characteristics of the true Muslim, as that was mentioned in its place. The thirteenth benefit in the report is the virtue of prolonging standing and supplication in prayer, and that the prayer in which this is abundant is the best of prayer. The fourteenth benefit in it is drawing the attention of Muslims to the importance of reforming the self, and that it comes before all other reform. So the best type of migration is the migration of the self from disbelief and disobedience to faith and obedience, and this must be realized before the external migration from the lands of disbelief to the lands of Islam. Indeed, you may not find migration in some cases when the Muslim is in an Islamic land. So what is obligatory upon him is the other migration, which is the migration from what Allah has forbidden to what He loves and is pleased with. This is obligatory upon every Muslim at all times, and it is the migration that remains until the Day of Resurrection. The fifteenth benefit in it is that the best of the mujahideen is the one whose horse kills him and then he is martyred, so his blood is shed in the path of Allah. And in this is support for the famous legal principle that says: "The reward is according to the hardship," which is taken from his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) to 'A'ishah on the occasion of Hajj
Your reward is according to your effort إن أجرك على قدر نصبك
or as he (peace be upon him) said. And in it is also the exhortation to jihad and to strive hard and to offer the self and the most precious things in the path of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. These are the highest stations. And we know and mention the other hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from Mu'adh ibn Jabal, which Mu'adh narrates, and in it is his saying (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him)
The head of the matter is Islam, and its pillar is the Salat, and its hump is Jihad رأس الأمر الإسلام وعموده الصلاة وذروة سنامه الجهاد في سبيل الله
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2616Hasan (Darussalam)
So there is no doubt that jihad is the highest degree of Islam, and its reward is also with the highest of rewards. Therefore, the best of people, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, is the one whose horse kills him and his blood is shed. The sixteenth benefit, and I will suffice with it because we have prolonged our talk, and we will listen to a poem by our brother Kheir al-Din. The sixteenth benefit in it is that the Arabs use types of metaphor, such as omitting the possessed, and its example here is the saying of 'Amr: "I am a quarter of Islam," meaning a quarter of the people of Islam. And his question to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Which is the best of Islam?" He meant by that: "Which is the best of the people of Islam?" So the answer came as we saw. And I will suffice with this, and to another page on another occasion, if Allah wills, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. So there is a question about the residents before we listen to the poem, so no harm, otherwise let us listen.
