Assalaamu 3aleykum,
On the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA), the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said:
Whosoever fights in a single battle in the Path of Allah has rendered unto
Allah all acts of obedience. "So whosoever wills, then let him believe and
whosoever wills then let him disbelieve. Indeed we have prepared for the
wrongdoers a fire." [Quran 18:29]. The Companions asked: "After this hadith
that we have heard from you, who will then abandon Jihad and sit behind?" He
(SAWS) said: "Those whom Allah has cursed, His Anger is upon and for whom He
has prepared a severe punishment are a people who will appear near the end
of time and they will deny Jihad. My Lord has taken an oath upon Himself that
He will not break, that whichever of His servants meets him in such a state,
He will punish him in such a way that He has not punished anyone in the
Universe.[/b][Ibn Asakir transmitted it in the section: 'The Seriousness of Abandoning
Jihad.' (Mashari-ul-Ashwaq by Ibn Nuhaas, Vol. 1, P. 107)]
On the authority of Zaid bin Aslam Al-Adawi (RA) from his father (RA), the
Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said: "Jihad will remain sweet and green as long as
rain continues to drop from the sky, [b]yet there will come upon the people a
time when their scholars will say: 'This is not the time for Jihad.' So
whoever witnesses this time then let him know that this is the best time for
Jihad." The Companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah (SAWS), will anyone really
say that?" He (SAWS) replied: "Yes, he upon whom is the curse of Allah, His
Angels and all of mankind."[Ibn Asakir transmitted it. (Mashari- ul-Ashwaq by Ibn Nuhaas, Vol. 1, P. 110)]
