حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْأَسْفَاطِيُّ قَالَ: نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ قَالَ: نَا رَبَاحُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْقَيْسِيُّ قَالَ: نَا أَيُّوبُ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:
بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، إِذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا شَابٌّ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ، فَلَمَّا رَمَيْنَاهُ بِأَبْصَارِنَا، قُلْنَا: لَوْ أَنَّ ذَا الشَّابَّ جَعَلَ نَشَاطَهُ وَشَبَابَهُ وَقُوَّتَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَسَمِعَ مَقَالَتَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: وَمَا سَبِيلُ اللهِ إِلَّا مَنْ قُتِلَ ؟ مَنْ سَعَى عَلَى وَالِدَيْهِ فَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَمَنْ سَعَى عَلَى عِيَالِهِ فَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَمَنْ سَعَى مُكَاثِرًا فَفِي سَبِيلِ الطَّاغُوتِ

✧ While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a young man appeared to us from the mountain pass. When we looked at him, we said, “If only this young man would put his energy, youth, and strength in the path of Allah.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard our words and said, “And what is the path of Allah except one who is killed? Whoever strives on behalf of his parents is in the path of Allah, whoever strives on behalf of his dependents is in the path of Allah, and whoever strives to accumulate is in the path of the false god.”
