The ‘Allāmah, Ibn Hazm (d. 456 H) – rahimahullāh – said in al-Muhallā (5/419): "The Most High said:
وَأَعِدُّواْلَهُممَّااسْتَطَعْتُممِّنقُوَّةٍوَمِنرِّبَاطِالْخَيْلِتُرْهِبُونَبِهِعَدْوَّاللّهِوَعَدُوَّكُمْ

So He made terrorizing them an obligation upon us. Therefore, whoever assisted them with what is carried to them then he has not terrorized them. Nay, he has assisted them in sin and transgression.
