All the virtuous deeds including war in the way of Allah
as compared to the persuasion to good and dissuasion from evil
are just like spitting in the deep ocean.
وَمَا أَعْمَالُ الْبِرِّ كُلُّهَا وَالْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ
as compared to the persuasion to good and dissuasion from evil
عِنْدَ الاْمْرِ بالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ
are just like spitting in the deep ocean.
إِلاَّ كَنَفْثَةٍ فِي بَحْرٍ لُجِّيٍّ
