You mentioned a moment ago the hadith: "If you trade by way of 'inah..." Can you clarify for us the meaning of: "and you hold by the tails of the cattle"?

The questioner : May Allah reward you. This person says: You mentioned a moment ago the hadith: Can you clarify for us the meaning of: ?

The Shaykh : Yes, the meaning of the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): is clarified by the phrase that follows it, which is: Cattle are mentioned specifically because cattle are used for plowing. Therefore, he said: The meaning is that you have neglected what is obligatory upon you, which is jihad in the cause of Allah, and you have become preoccupied with the matters of this world.
