Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ وَكَانَ شَاعِرًا قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَهُ فِي الْجِهَادِ فَقَالَ أَحَيٌّ وَالِدَاكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَفِيهِمَا فَجَاهِدْ.
English Translation
Affan told us: Shu'bah told us, from Habib ibn Abi Thabit: I heard Abu al-Abbas, who was a poet, say: I heard Abdullah ibn Amr say: A man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and asked his permission to go on jihad. He said: Are your parents alive? He said: Yes. He said: Then strive on their behalf.
