ʿAbd ʿAziz b. Marwan said he heard Abu Hurayra (ra) say he heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say, “What is evil in a man are alarming niggardliness and unrestrained cowardice.” (Abu Daʾud, al-Jihad, 21)
It was reported by Abu ‘l-Nadr that he learned from a letter sent by a man from the Aslam tribe, who was a Companion of the Prophet (saw) and whose name was ʿAbd Allah b. Abi Awfa (ra), to ʿUmar b. ʿUbayd Allah that when the latter marched upon al-Haruriya (Khawarij) he was informed that the Messenger of Allah (saw), during those days when he was confronting the enemy, waited until the sun had declined. Then he stood up (to address the people) and said, “O ye men, do not wish for an encounter with the enemy. Pray to Allah to grant you security; (but) when you (have to) encounter them exercise patience, and you should know that Paradise is under the shadows of the swords.” (Muslim, al-Jihad wa ‘l-Siyar, 20)
Anas b. Malik (ra) reported, “The Prophet (saw) was the best among the people (both in physical form and character) and was the most generous of them, and was the bravest of them. Once, during the night, the people of Medina were frightened (by a sound). So the people went towards that sound, but the Prophet (saw), having gone to that sound before them, met them there (saying, ‘Do not be afraid, do not be afraid’).” (al-Bukhari, al-Adab, 39)
