Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, altogether from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Talha Al Nahdy, from Sowrat Bin Kuleyb who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘A man comes out from his house intending (to go to) the Masjid, or he intends the need, so he meets a man or he is followed by him, and he beats him up and takes his clothes’. He^asws said: ‘Which thing are they saying with regards to it, the ones who are around you?’ I said, ‘They are saying, ‘This is an open violation, but rather the warrior is in the town of the Polytheists’. So he^asws said: ‘Which one is greater in sanctity, the house of Al-Islam or the house of the Polytheism?’ I said, ‘The house of Al-Islam’. He^asws said: ‘These are the ones who are rightful of this Verse <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:5#h33"><a href="/books/quran:5#h33">[5:33]</a></a> But rather, the Recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Rasool </span>– up to the end of the Verse’.
