Be patient with the religion and its obligations, and be steadfast against the enemies of Allah in jihad. This means to overcome them in patience during the hardships of war. Do not be less patient than them or less steadfast. And 'muhasara' is a type of patience mentioned after patience on what must be endured, specifying its severity and difficulty. And 'ribat' means to remain at the frontiers, tying your horses there, on alert and ready for battle. Allah, the Exalted, said: (And from the ribat of horses, you frighten the enemy of Allah and your enemy). And from the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him: 'Whoever remains for a day and a night in the path of Allah is like one who fasts for a month.' [Narrated by Ahmad and Ibn Abi Shaybah from the hadith of Salman, and Ibn Hibban from the hadith of Salman: 'Ribat for a day and a night in the path of Allah is better than fasting a month and standing in prayer without breaking his fast, and he does not stop his prayer except for a need.' Its origin is in Muslim, and the judge made an error and corrected it.] And from the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him: 'Whoever recites Surah Al-Imran is granted safety on the bridge over Hell for every verse of it.' [Narrated by Ibn al-Jawzi in the fabricated reports from the hadith of Ubayy ibn Ka'b, and it will come at the end of the book, and narrated by Ibn Mardawayh from another source from Ubayy ibn Ka'b, and Al-Wahidi in Al-Tafsir Al-Awsat from the hadith of Abu Umamah, may Allah be pleased with him.] And from him, peace be upon him: 'Whoever recites the surah in which Al-Imran is mentioned on Friday, Allah and His angels send blessings upon him until the sun sets.' [Narrated by Al-Tabarani from the hadith of Ibn Abbas, and its chain is weak.]
