Sunan Abi Dawud 2629 (Book 15, Hadith 153) #22920
Encroaching on the Road and Jihad

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ warned people that those who occupy too much space or encroach on the road will not be credited with jihad.

Narrated Mu'adh ibn Anas al-Juhani: I fought along with the Prophet in such and such battles. The people occupied much space and encroached on the road. The Prophet sent an announcer to announce among the people: Those who occupy much space or encroach on the road will not be credited with jihad.
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَسِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ، عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ مُجَاهِدٍ اللَّخْمِيِّ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ غَزْوَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَضَيَّقَ النَّاسُ الْمَنَازِلَ وَقَطَعُوا الطَّرِيقَ فَبَعَثَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي فِي النَّاسِ أَنَّ مَنْ ضَيَّقَ مَنْزِلاً أَوْ قَطَعَ طَرِيقًا فَلاَ جِهَادَ لَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how one should conduct themselves when engaging in jihad. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned people that those who occupy too much space or encroach on the road will not be credited with jihad. This means that if someone takes up more than their fair share of resources or blocks a path for others to use then they are not considered to have done a good deed in the eyes of Allah. It is important to remember that even when engaging in something as noble as jihad we must still act responsibly and considerately towards others. We should also strive to ensure that our actions do not cause any harm or inconvenience to anyone else.
