1 That I will attain the reward of those who strive for the sake of Allah
Abdullah bin 'Amr ( May Allah be pleased with him ) reported that a person came to Allah's Apostle ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) and sought permission (to participate) in Jihad, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said:
Are your parents living? He said: Yes. Thereupon he ( the Holy Prophet) said: You should put in your best efforts (in their) service.

It was narrated that Mu’awiyah bin Jahimah As-Sulaimi said:
“I came to the Messenger of Allah ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to go for Jihad with you, seeking thereby the Face of Allah and the Hereafter.’ He said: ‘Woe to you! Is your mother still alive?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Go back and honor her.’ Then I approached him from the other side and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to go for Jihad with you, seeking thereby the Face of Allah and the Hereafter.’ He said: ‘Woe to you! Is your mother still alive?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Go back and honour her.’ Then I approached him from in front and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to go for Jihad with you, seeking thereby the Face of Allah and the Hereafter.’ He said: ‘Woe to you! Is your mother still alive?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Go back and serve her, for there is Paradise.’”
