عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَحْتَ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ هَذَا الشِّعْبِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ أَرَدْتُ الْجِهَادَ مَعَكَ أَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ قَالَ هَلْ مِنْ أَبَوَيْكَ أَحَدٌ حَيٌّ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كِلَاهُمَا قَالَ فَارْجِعْ ابْرُرْ أَبَوَيْكَ وَفِي لَفْظٍ فَفِيهِمَا فَجَاهِدْ قَالَ فَوَلَّى رَاجِعًا مِنْ حَيْثُ جَاءَ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) under that tree, when a man came to him from that valley, greeted him, and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have intended to strive (jihad) with you; through this action, I seek the pleasure of Allah Almighty and the home of the Hereafter. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Are any of your parents alive? He said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! Both are alive. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then return and do good to them. In another narration: Strive in serving them. So he returned in the direction from which he had come.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Strive in (do jihad in) your parents: This can have two meanings: (1) Strive against your own self or against Satan in order to obtain their pleasure and to give preference to their wishes over your own desires.
