'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RAA) narrated ‘A man came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) asking his permission to go out for Jihad. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) asked him,“Are your parents alive?”He replied, ‘Yes.' The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) then said to him,“Then your Jihad would be with them (i.e. in looking after them and being at their service.).”Agreed upon. Ahmad and Abu Dawud transmitted a similar hadith on the authority of Abu Sa’id, and they added the extra statement,“Go back and ask for their permission. If they permit you to go, then go for Jihad otherwise, be good to them (look after them).
