حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ التَّنُوخِيُّ أَبُو الْجَمَاهِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْعَلاَءُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ائْذَنْ لِي فِي السِّيَاحَةِ . قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ سِيَاحَةَ أُمَّتِي الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى " .
Abu Umamah Narrated from:
A man said: Messenger of Allah, allow tourism for me. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The tourism of my people is striving in the path of Allah, the Exalted.
[1] As-Sayāhah ; living life as a wanderer; a wandering traveler, a vagabond or the like. "It is said: ' Sāha in the earth, yasihu , sayāhatan ' when he goes throughout it. Its root is from As-Sayyah , and it is the flowing water spreading upon the face of the earth. It means leaving the Amsār (civilized lands, or large cities) and settling in the wilderness, and not attending the Friday prayer and the congregations."
