Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I wish to pledge allegiance to you for jihad." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are your parents alive?" He said: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then serve them fully (that is your jihad)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat from his teacher Muhammad bin Ahmad al-Jili, from Ahmad bin Abd al-Rahim al-Harithi, and I do not know either of them. The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
