How Sa'd wished to meet the enemy.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , so how did Sa'd wish to meet the enemy?
The Shaykh : No, he wished to fight them in jihad. It was not absolute jihad, but rather due to the harm they inflicted upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and their expulsion of him from his land. It was not a specific jihad, nor a general one, as when a person, for example, wishes that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) would enable him to meet his enemy and kill him.
None of you should wish to meet the enemy
