Distinguish between fights intended for ruling and those intended to protect one's faith; Take up arms only if absolutely necessary; Defend oneself against injustice or harm; Respect other people’s beliefs; Be faithful towards Allah’s teachings .

This hadith is about the difference between fighting for ruling and fighting to protect one's religion from persecution. The narrator, Sa'id bin Jubair, was talking with Abdullah bin Umar when a man asked him to narrate a Hadith about battles during times of affliction. Ibn Umar then explained that Muhammad used to fight against pagans who persecuted Muslims in their religion. He further clarified that this type of fight was different from fights carried out for the purpose of ruling. This hadith teaches us that it is important to distinguish between fights meant for ruling and those meant to protect our faith from oppression or persecution. It also reminds us that we should not take up arms unless it is absolutely necessary in order to defend our faith or ourselves against injustice or harm.
