al-Hasan al-Basri الحسن البصري · The Book of Jihad

"There are three, all of whom have a promise of help from Allah: 'The Mujahid who strives in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime; the man who gets married, seeking to keep himself chaste; and the slave who has a contract of manumission and wants to buy his freedom.'"

"I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Bring me the weak, for you only receive provision and Divine support by virtue of your weak ones.'"
