Jihad an-Nafs (Jihad of one’s own Soul) From Abu Dharr who said: ‘I asked the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-: ‘Which is the best Jihad? The Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said: أفضل الجهاد أن تجاهد نفسك وهواك في ذات الله عز وجل ‘The best Jihad is the Jihad against his own soul and his desires for the sake of Allaah Azza wa Jal.’ [Collected by Ibn Mulli in ‘al-Amali’, Abu Na’eem in ‘al-Hileeyah’ and by Daylami, & declared Hasan by Albaani in Silsilah Ahadeeth as-Saheehah no.1496] The preceding hadeeth has a supporting narration from Fadalah bin Ubayd from the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- with the wording: المجاهد من جاهد نفسه لله ‘The Mujahid is the one who makes Jihad against his own-self and his desires for the sake of Allaah.’ [Collected by Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban & Albaani declared its Isnad to be good in ‘Silsilah Saheehah’ No. 1496] followingthesunnah.wordpress/
