al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 7787

Translation

that his father offered him to the Prophet ﷺ to serve him. He said: “So the Prophet ﷺ passed by me, and I had just performed Salat, so he poked me with his foot and said: ‘Should I not direct you to a gate from the gates of Paradise?’ I said: ‘Of course.’ He ﷺ said: ‘There is no might or power except with Allah (Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh).’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3581)

Notes

• ✧ This is an authentic hadith according to the conditions of the two Shaykhs, though they did not record it. The purpose of mentioning it here is that it is permissible for a father to put his son into someone’s service, and then it is permissible for the one to whom that service is given to make use of him. It is also known from the virtue of Qays ibn Sa‘d that he served the Prophet ﷺ until he became to him like a chief of police, and then he did not leave the Commander of the Believers, ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, in ease or hardship, until he was martyred before him on the day of Siffin. According to the conditions of al-Bukhari and Muslim.
