Hazrat Dawood, may Allah have mercy on him, says that I said to Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib, may Allah have mercy on him, that I know jihad is obligatory upon all people. Upon hearing this, he remained silent. I knew that if he disagreed with my statement, he would surely express it. I then said again to Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib, may Allah have mercy on him, that I have made preparations for jihad and I am about to set out for jihad. He said, "I will fulfill your responsibilities."
