Nu'aym, the freed slave of Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) set out for Hajj. Between Makkah and Madinah he came to a tree, recognised it and sat beneath it. Then he related: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (sitting) beneath this tree when a young man appeared from this mountain pass. He came and stood before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have come to take part in jihad with you in the path of Allah, seeking thereby the pleasure of Allah Almighty and the reward of the Hereafter." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are both your parents alive?" He replied: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go back and treat them both well." So the man turned and went back the way he had come.
Abu Ya'la recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator, Ibn Ishaq, who is a mudallis and thiqah (trustworthy). The remaining narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih, if the freed slave of Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) is Na'im, which is correct; if he is Nu'aym, then I do not know him. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Some hadiths of this kind have already passed in the chapter on jihad.
