Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When people become stingy regarding dirhams and dinars, indulge in ‘inah transactions, follow the tails of cattle, and abandon jihad in the way of Allah, then Allah Almighty will send a trial upon them, and He will not remove it until they return to their religion.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever dies without having fought in jihad, nor having thought of striving in his own self, will die upon a branch of hypocrisy.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him): O Thawban! What will be your condition when other nations will attack you as people gather around a dish of food? He said: O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you, will it be because of our small number? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: No, at that time you will be many, but weakness (wahn) will be cast into your hearts. He said: O Messenger of Allah! What is wahn? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Your love for the world and your dislike for fighting.
