الجَبانُ وَالغَزوُ The Coward And Conquests

6ـ رسول اللهِ‏ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): مَن أحَسَّ مِن نَفسِهِ جُبناً فَلا يَغزُ .

6- The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The coward has two requitals.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 11298]
 

7ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا يَحِلُّ للجَبانِ أنْ يَغْزوَ لأنّهُ يَنْهَزمُ سريعاً، ولكنْ لِيَنْظُرْ ما كانَ يُريدُ أنْ يَغْزوَ بهِ فليُجَهِّزْ بهِ غيرَهُ؛ فإنَّ لَهُ مِثلَ أجرِهِ ولا يَنْقصُ مِن أجرِهِ شيءٌ .

7- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘A coward is not allowed to participate in a campaign, because he would flee fast. However, he must take whatever he was going to use for the conquest [i.e. weaponry] and give it to someone else. Thus, he will have the same reward, without decrease in the reward of the other thereof.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 100, p. 49, no. 16]
