The Virtue of Jihad Over Illegitimate Children

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised that it is better to wage Jihad than to free an illegitimate child.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي يَزِيدَ الضِّنِّيِّ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدٍ، - مَوْلاَةِ النَّبِيِّ - أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سُئِلَ عَنْ وَلَدِ الزِّنَا فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعْلاَنِ أُجَاهِدُ فِيهِمَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ أُعْتِقَ وَلَدَ الزِّنَا
