He went on a military expedition."(1)

This is a good and authentic hadith, and it has been narrated through other chains as well.

1723 - Ibn Abi 'Umar narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, from Ibn Abi Layla, from 'Ata', from Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever equips a warrior fighting in the cause of Allah, or looks after his family in his absence, has gone on a military expedition."(2)

This is a good hadith.(3)

1724 - Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us, Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, 'Abd al-Malik ibn Abi Sulayman narrated to us, from 'Ata', from Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, something similar.(4)

Al-Mizzi in "Tuhfat al-Ashraf" 3/240, as well as al-'Iraqi in his commentary on al-Tirmidhi, indicated that this hadith is in the narration of Abu Hamid Ahmad ibn =
