الرجل يغزو ووالداه حيان أله ذلك؟If Someone Goes for Jihad While His Parents Are Alive, Is He Permitted?
Hadith 35708
٣٥٧٠٨ - حدثنا وكيع قال: ثنا مسعر عن معن بن عبد الرحمن قال: غزا رجل نحو الشام يقال له شيبان، وله أب شيخ كبير، فقال أبوه في ذلك شعرا: أشيبان ما يدريك أن رب ليلة … (غبقتك) (١) فيها و (الغبوق) (٢) حبيب أأمهلتني حتى إذا ما تركتني … أرى الشخص كالشخصين وهو قريب أشيبان إن بات الجيوش تحدهم … يقاسون أياما بهن خطوب قال: فبلغ ذلك عمر فرده (٣).
It is narrated from Hazrat Ma'n bin Abdur Rahman that a person named Shaiban went for jihad towards the land of Syria. His father was old, and in his son's memory, he recited verses: "O Shaiban! You do not know how many nights have passed over me after you, in which I remembered you, and your memory is beloved to me. Since you left me, a person standing near me seems like two people. O Shaiban, you are with those armies who spend their nights and days in such a state that they are victims of hardship." When these verses reached Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he called his son back.
