Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding the verse of the Holy Qur'an { الَّذِینَ یُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَہُمْ بِاللَّیْلِ وَالنَّہَارِ سِرًّا وَعَلاَنِیَۃً } says that it means spending on horses in the way of Allah.

Hazrat Sahl bin Ajlan Bahili, may Allah have mercy on him, regarding the verse of the Holy Qur'an: { الَّذِینَ یُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَہُمْ بِاللَّیْلِ وَالنَّہَارِ سِرًّا وَعَلاَنِیَۃً }, says that it means spending on horses in the way of Allah. Then he said that whoever ties a horse in the way of Allah and there is no element of show or desire for fame in it, then he will be among those who spend their wealth day and night in the way of Allah.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the dust from the path of Allah and the smoke of Hell cannot be gathered in one nostril. It is as impossible for a person who weeps out of fear of Allah to enter Hell as it is for milk to return to the udders.

Hazrat Salim bin Abi Ja'd (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that some of the noble Companions saw the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream. They saw that Hazrat Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) was in the form of an angel and there was blood on his feet. Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting on a throne in front of him. Hazrat Abdullah bin Rawaha (may Allah be pleased with him) was also sitting with them, but both of them were facing away from Hazrat Ibn Rawaha (may Allah be pleased with him).

Hazrat Rabee’ bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was walking when a boy from the Quraysh was walking a little off the path. Upon seeing him, the Prophet inquired about him,“Is this not such-and-such boy?”The people said,“Yes, it is him.”The Prophet called him and asked,“Why are you walking off the path?”He replied,“I want to avoid the dust.”The Prophet said,“Do not walk off the path, for by the One in whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), this dust is the fragrance of Paradise.”

Hazrat Abu Awam (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that once Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) could not go for jihad for some reason in a particular year. Then he recited this verse of the Holy Qur'an: { انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالاَ } "Go forth, whether light or heavy." After that, he continued to perform Hajj for a year and used to say that after this verse, no kind of concession remains.

Hazrat Abu Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the very first verse of Surah Al-Bara’ah to be revealed was: { انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالاَ }

Hazrat Abu Salih (may Allah have mercy on him) says that by { انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالاَ } is meant that both the young and the old should go out.

Hazrat Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) explained this with reference to the young and the old, and Hazrat Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) explained this with reference to the intelligent and the ignorant.
