حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلْبَرَاءِ: الرَّجُلُ يَحْمِلُ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ، أَهُوَ مِمَّنْ أَلْقَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ؟ قَالَ: " لَا، لِأَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَعَثَ رَسُولَهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: {فَقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ لَا تُكَلَّفُ إِلَّا نَفْسَكَ} [النساء: ٨٤] إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ فِي النَّفَقَةِ " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

English translation

Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Bara (may Allah be pleased with him) whether if a man attacks the polytheists on his own initiative, is he the person about whom it is said in the Quran that he has thrown himself into destruction? He replied, "No, because Allah Almighty sent His Prophet and commanded him to strive in the way of Allah. You are only responsible for your own self, whereas this verse is related to spending (in the way of Allah)."
