Sahih Muslim 1895a (Book 33, Hadith 198) #12008
Equivalent to Fighting

SUMMARY: Taking care of those who are fighting in the way of Allah and looking after one's family in their absence is equivalent to actually fighting.

It has been narrated on the authority of Zaid b. Khalid al-Juhani that the Messenger of Allah said: Anybody who equips a warrior (going to fight) in the way of Allah (is like one who actually) fights. And anybody who looks well after his family in his absence (is also like one who actually) fights.
وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، وَأَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، قَالَ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، وَقَالَ، سَعِيدٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ، عَنْ بُسْرِ، بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ جَهَّزَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ غَزَا وَمَنْ خَلَفَهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ بِخَيْرٍ فَقَدْ غَزَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of taking care of those who are fighting for Allah and also looking after one's family in their absence. It is narrated on the authority of Zaid b. Khalid al-Juhani that the Messenger of Allah said that anyone who equips a warrior going to fight in the way of Allah, or looks well after his family in his absence, is like one who actually fights himself. This means that these acts are just as important as actually going out and fighting for Allah, even though they may not be physical acts themselves. The hadith teaches us that we should take care not only for ourselves but also for our families and those around us, even if it means sacrificing our own comfort or time to do so. It also shows us how important it is to support those who are actively engaged in defending Islam and its values by providing them with whatever help they need - whether it be financial aid or moral support - so they can continue their mission without any hindrance from outside forces.
