Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
stimulated people for jihad and mentioned the Garden. One of the Ansar
was eating some dates in his hand, and said, "Am I so desirous of this
world that I should sit until I finish them?" He threw aside what was
in his hand and took his sword, and fought until he was slain .

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "On the
Day of Uhud, The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'Who will bring me news of Sad ibn al-Rabi al-Ansari?' a
man said, 'Me, Messenger of Allah!' So the man went around among the
slain, and Sad ibn al-Rabi said to him, 'What are you doing?' The man
said to him, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, sent me to bring him news of you.' He said, 'Go to him, and
give him my greetings, and tell him that I have been stabbed twelve
times, and am mortally wounded. Tell your people that they will have
no excuse with Allah if the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, is slain while one of them is still alive.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Muadh ibn
Jabal said, "There are two military expeditions. There is one military
expedition in which valuables are spent, the contributor is willing,
the authorities are obeyed, and corruption is avoided. That military
expedition is all good. There is a military expedition in which
valuables are not spent, the contributor is not willing, the
authorities are not obeyed, and corruption is not avoided. The one who
fights in that military expedition does not return with reward."
