أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أنبأ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ ؓ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَوْضِعُ سَوْطٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا الْغَدْوَةُ يَغْدُوهَا الْعَبْدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَالرَّوْحَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا
English Translation
Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, from Abu al-Nadr al-Faqih, from Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Nasr, from Yahya ibn Yahya, from Abd al-Aziz ibn Abi Hazim, from his father, from Sahl ibn Sa'd al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) who said: A whip's length in Paradise is better than the whole world and everything in it. A morning or evening journey undertaken by a servant in the cause of Allah is better than the world and everything in it.
