أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ جَنَاحُ بْنُ نُذَيْرِ بْنِ جَنَاحٍ الْقَاضِي بِالْكُوفَةِ، أنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ دُحَيْمٍ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، نا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ مَغْرَاءَ الْعَبْدِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: مَرَّ بِهِمْ رَجُلٌ فَتَعَجَّبُوا مِنْ خَلْقِهِ فَقَالُوا: لَوْ كَانَ هَذَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَأَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى أَبَوَيْهِ شَيْخَيْنِ كَبِيرَيْنِ فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى وَلَدٍ صِغَارٍ فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى نَفْسِهِ لِيُغْنِيَهَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ".
It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man passed by them, and they marvelled at his fine build. They said: If only he were in the path of Allah! They came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If he is serving his elderly parents, he is in the path of Allah; if he is striving for his young children, he is in the path of Allah; and if he is striving for himself to make himself self-sufficient, he is in the path of Allah."
