It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Standing guard for one day at the frontier is better than staying at home for a month and fasting during it."

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Travel and you will remain healthy, and perform jihad and you will become self-sufficient." This hadith is narrated mursal from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, Sayyiduna Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with them), and Zaid bin Aslam.
