The Prophet (peace be upon him) set out on the expedition of Tabuk. A man was running behind a camel. The companions said: "If only this effort were in the way of Allah." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever strives to provide for his children, parents, or himself, he is in the way of Allah; and whoever strives for show or fame, he is for Satan."
