In the Quran

ٱنفِرُوا۟ خِفَافًۭا وَثِقَالًۭا وَجَٰهِدُوا۟ بِأَمْوَٰلِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

تم سبکبار ہو یا گراں بار (یعنی مال و اسباب تھوڑا رکھتے ہو یا بہت، گھروں سے) نکل آؤ۔ اور خدا کے رستے میں مال اور جان سے لڑو۔ یہی تمہارے حق میں اچھا ہے بشرطیکہ سمجھو

Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew.
