Lady Umm Kabsha (may Allah be pleased with her), who belonged to the Qada’ tribe, sought permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to participate in jihad. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“I do not grant you permission.”She said:“O Messenger of Allah! I will treat the wounded and take care of the sick.”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“You should refrain, lest people say that Muhammad (the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him) takes women out for jihad.”

Lady Umm Kabtha (may Allah be pleased with her), who was a woman from the Banu Uzrah tribe, says: O Messenger of Allah! Grant me permission to go out with such-and-such army (for jihad). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." She said: O Prophet of Allah! I do not wish to fight; my intention is to treat the wounded and take care of the sick. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If I did not fear that it would become a routine for people to say that so-and-so has gone out, I would have given you permission. So, you should remain seated in your house."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made three bequests: "Expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula, and treat the delegations as I do." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Regarding the third thing, he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent, or he said: "I was made to forget it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the last thing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said was: "Expel the Hijazi and Najrani Jews from the Arabian Peninsula, and know that the worst people are those who turn the graves of their prophets into mosques."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I remain alive, I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will allow only Muslims to reside here."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made three bequests: "Expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula, treat the delegations as I do." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Regarding the third thing, he (the Prophet) remained silent, or he said: "I have been made to forget it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When you come upon green and lush land, dismount and let your mount graze, and when you come upon drought-stricken land, then ride, and travel at night, for the distance of the land becomes shorter at night."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Travel at night, for the earth is folded up at night (i.e., its distance becomes shorter)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out in the year of the conquest of Makkah. The companions gathered around him on foot, stood in rows, and said, "We seek the supplications of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." They said: "The journey has become difficult and the distance is long (what should we do?)" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Seek help by walking briskly; in this way, the journey will be completed quickly and you will feel lighter." We did so, we felt lighter, and that which we were feeling disappeared.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The people complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about walking on foot, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called them and said: "Walk briskly." We started walking briskly, and we felt embarrassed in it.
