Narrated Abu Ayoub : Abu Imran said: We went out on an expedition from Medina with the intention of attacking Constantinople. Abdulrahman Ibn Khalid Ibn AlWalid was the leader of the company. The Romans were just keeping their backs to the walls of the city. A man suddenly attacked the enemy. Thereupon the people said: Stop! Stop! There is no god but Allah. He is putting himself into danger. Abu Ayoub said: This verse was revealed about us; the group of the Ansar the Helpers. When Allah helped His Prophet ﷺ and gave Islam dominance; we said i.e. thought : Come on! Let us stay in our property and improve it. Thereupon Allah; the Exalted; revealed; And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah; and make not your hands contribute to your destruction. To put oneself into danger means that we stay in our property and commit ourselves to its improvement; and abandon fighting i.e. jihad. Abu Imran said: Abu Ayoub continued to strive in the cause of Allah until he died and was buried in Constantinople.
