The Best Form of Jihad

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that the best form of Jihad is when a person sacrifices their life and their horse in the cause of Allah.

It was narrated that 'Amr bin 'Abasah said: "I came to the Prophet and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, which Jihad is best?’ He said: '(That of a man) whose blood is shed and his horse is wounded.’"
