1. We were told by Hussain bin Ahmad bin Idrees, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by my father, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, that he said: I was informed by Muhammed bin Yahya al-Khazzaz, the Silk Maker, that he said: I was told by Musa bin Isma’eel, from his father, from Musa bin Ja’far, from his father, from his fathers, from the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, that he said: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, once sent a brigade, and when they returned, he said: Welcome to a people who have performed the Minor Striving and upon whom remains the Major Striving. It was said: O Messenger of Allah, and what is the Major Striving? He said: Combating one’s self. He, peace be upon him, said: The best of striving is that of the one who combats his self that is between his sides.
Nous a informé Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad ibn Idris - qu'Allah soit satisfait de lui - qui a dit: Mon père nous a informés, il a dit: Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn 'Isa nous a informés, il a dit: Muhammad ibn Yahya Al-Khazaz m'a informé, il a dit: Musa ibn Isma'il m'a informé de son père, de Musa ibn Ja'far, de son père, de ses ancêtres, de l'Imam Ali - que la paix soit sur eux - a dit: Le Messager d'Allah - que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur lui et sur sa famille - a envoyé une expédition militaire. Lorsqu'ils sont revenus, il a dit: Bienvenue aux gens qui ont accompli le petit jihad, et il leur reste le grand jihad. Ils dirent: Ô Messager d'Allah, quel est le grand jihad? Il dit: Le jihad contre soi-même, et il a dit - que la paix soit sur lui - Le meilleur jihad est celui qui lutte contre sa propre âme entre ses deux flancs.
