Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Fight the polytheists with your wealth, lives and tongues.''

[Abu Dawud Hadith # 2504].

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah An-Nahl Ayat 73.And they worship others besides Allah, such as do not and cannot own any provision for them" This Hadith mentions three categories of Jihad, namely Jihad with wealth, Jihad with one's life and Jihad by speech. One should make Jihad as is warranted by the situation one is confronted with. That is, where a Muslim is required to sacrifice his life, he must sacrifice his life; where he is required to sacrifice his wealth, he should spend wealth; and where he is required to make Jihad by means of his speech, he should do it by speech. One should not hesitate to spend for the sake of Allah what is required by the situation.

Hadith الحديث

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Ubadah bin As-Samit (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "He who bears witness that there is no true god except Allah, alone having no partner with Him, that Muhammad  [SAWW](PBUH) is His slave and His Messenger, that `Isa (Jesus) (PBUH) is His slave and Messenger and he (Jesus) is His Word which He communicated to Maryam (Mary) and His spirit which He sent to her, that Jannah is true and Hell is true; Allah will make him enter Jannah accepting whatever deeds he accomplished". [Al-Bukhari Hadith # 3435 and Muslim Hadith # 043].

Another narration in Muslim is: the Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Whosoever testifies that there is no true god except Allah and that Muhammad  [SAWW](PBUH) is the Messenger of Allah, Allah (SWT) saves him from the Fire (of Hell)".

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah At-Taubah Ayat Ayat 30. "And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old.". This Hadith confirms that all Prophets of Allah were men and thus refutes those who attribute divinity to them and exclude them from the category of men or regard them a part of Allah, as Christians believes Prophet `Isa (Jesus to be Christ) by regarding him Allah or His son, or the Jews do Prophet `Uzair by venerating him as son of Allah. The misconception has also taken hold of a sect of the Muslims. They have invented the belief that Prophet Muhammad  [SAWW](PBUH) is "Light from the Light of Allah". Thus further considering to be of him with Divine qualities. They exclude him from the category of men.
