(peace be upon him) said, Anyone whose both feet get covered with dust in Allah's Cause will not be touched by the (Hell) fire.
Related by AlBukhari in his Sahih.It is also reported from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah
(peace be upon him) said, "He who dies without having fought in the Cause of Allah or without having thought of doing so will die with a characteristic of hypocrisy in him.''
It is also reported from Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: When you enter into the 'Inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up performing jihad (struggle in the way of Allah), Allah (may He be Exalted) will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion.
Related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and authenticated by Ibn AlQattan. AlHafiz said in "Bilugh alMaram", 'it is narrated by the reliable and trustworthy narrators approved by AlBukhari and Muslim.'
There are many Hadiths on the merit of Jihad and Mujahids and the high ranks and great reward that Allah promised those who fight truthfully for His cause; other Hadiths stress the danger of abandoning Jihad. The other two Hadiths and those to the same effect indicate that abandoning Jihad
and neglecting it is a kind of hypocrisy and that ignoring it due to indulgence in worldly affairs such as trade, agriculture, and Riba based transactions are all reasons for the humiliation of Muslims and their enemy gaining power over them as attested by reality. This humiliation will not end until they return to their Din (religion) and adhere sincerely to it and strive for its sake. May Allah guide all Muslims to return to their religion, guide their leaders, and unite them on guidance, direct them to apply His Shari`ah (Islamic Law) and abide by it, grant all Muslims good understanding of their religion until Allah (Exalted be He) reverses this state of humiliation into empowerment and wellestablishment on the land and grant them victory over His and their enemies. He is the One Who is Capable of doing so.
