Riyad as-Salihin 176 (Book) #38561
Preparing for Jihad in the Cause of Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) encourages a young man to fight in the cause of Allah and tells him to take the equipment from someone who had prepared for it but fell ill.

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A young man from the tribe of Aslam said, "O Messenger of Allah , I wish to fight (in the Cause of Allah) but I do not have anything to equip myself with (for fighting)". He (the Prophet ) said, "Go to so- and-so, for he had equipped himself (for fighting) but he fell ill". So he (the young man) went to him and said, "Messenger of Allah sends you his greetings and says that you should give me the equipment that you have provided yourself with". The man said (to his wife or servant): "O so-and-so, give him the equipment I have collected for myself and do not withhold anything from him. By Allah, if you withhold anything from him, we will not be blessed therein". Muslim.
وعن أنس رضي الله عنه أن فتى من أسلم قال‏:‏ يا رسول الله إني أريد الغزو وليس معي ما أتجهز به‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏ائت فلانا فإنه قد كان تجهز فمرض‏"‏ فأتاه فقال‏:‏ إن رسول الله يقرئك السلام ويقول‏:‏ أعطني الذي تجهزت به، فقال‏:‏ يا فلانة أعطيه الذي تجهزت به، ولا تحبسي منه شيئاً ، فوالله لا تحبسين منه شيئاً فيبارك لك فيه‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about preparing oneself for jihad in the cause of Allah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged a young man from the tribe of Aslam to fight in the cause of Allah even though he did not have any equipment. He told him to go and take whatever equipment he needed from someone who had already prepared himself but was unable to fight due to illness. This shows us that we should always be ready and willing to do our part when it comes to fighting for what is right and just. We should also help others who are unable or less fortunate than us by providing them with whatever they need so that they can also participate in this noble cause.
