Riyad as-Salihin 1345 (Book 11, Hadith 61) #37834
Travelling as Jihad in the Cause of Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that travelling for the sake of Allah is a form of Jihad.

Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man sought permission from the Messenger of Allah to travel in the land. He said to him, "Travel for my people is Jihad in the Cause of Allah, glory be to Him". Abu Dawud.
وعن أبي أمامة، رضي الله عنه أن رجلا قال‏:‏ يا رسول الله ائذن لي في السياحة‏.‏ فقال النبي ‏:‏ ‏ "‏إن سياحة أمتي الجهاد في سبيل الله، عز وجل‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود بإسناد جيد‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Umamah states that travelling for the sake of Allah is a form of jihad. This means that when one travels to spread knowledge and understanding about Islam, they are engaging in an act which is pleasing to God. This could include going on a pilgrimage or visiting other countries to teach people about Islam and its values. It also implies that even if one does not physically travel, they can still engage in jihad by spreading knowledge and understanding through other means such as writing or speaking about it online or offline. By doing this, one can help others learn more about their faith and become closer to God. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us that we should strive to do good deeds even if it requires us to leave our comfort zone and go out into the world.
