1278 قَفْلَةٌ كَغَزْوَةٍ
Returning from battle is like going to battle

عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما مرفوعاً: « قَفْلَةٌ كَغَزْوَةٍ ».

‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Ās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Returning from battle is like going to battle (in reward)."

صحيح - ( رواه أبو داود ). Sahih/Authentic. [Abu Dawood]

في هذا الحديث بيان فضل الله تعالى على عباده عند أدائهم العبادات فكما أنهم يؤجرون عند السعي إليها؛ كذلك يؤجرون عند الرجوع من أدائها، لذلك أخبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن العائد من الغزو كمن يغزو، فهما في الأجر سواء، كما يكتب أثر الماشي إلى المسجد، ورجوعة إلى أهله.
This Hadīth highlights the grace and favor of Allah, the Almighty, upon His servants when they perform acts of worship. Just as they are rewarded for going out to do acts of worship, they are also rewarded when they return home after having performed them. Therefore, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that the one who returns from a battle is like the one who is going out to a battle; they both receive the same reward. This is similar to the case of the person walking to the mosque; he receives reward for walking to the mosque and reward for returning home from it.

المجاهد في سبيل الله يٌثاب ويَنال الأجر في الذهاب والإياب. من خصائص النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أنَّه أوتي جوامع الكلم. بيان فضل الجهاد والحث عليه.
