حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْحَلَبِيُّ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، نَا هَمَّامٌ، نَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ قَالَ:
مَرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ، فَرَأَى أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْ جَلَدِهِ وَنَشَاطِهِ مَا أَعْجَبَهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَوْ كَانَ هَذَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنْ كَانَ خَرَجَ يَسْعَى عَلَى وَلَدِهِ صِغَارًا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَإِنْ خَرَجَ يَسْعَى عَلَى أَبَوَيْنِ شَيْخَيْنِ كَبِيرَيْنِ فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى نَفْسِهِ يُعِفُّهَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ خَرَجَ رِيَاءً وَتَفَاخُرًا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ الشَّيْطَانِ

✧ A man passed by the Prophet ﷺ, and the companions of the Prophet ﷺ saw in him such vigor and energy that amazed them. They said: O Messenger of God, if only this were in the path of God. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: If he went out striving for his young children, then he is in the path of God. If he went out striving for two elderly parents, then he is in the path of God. If he is striving for himself to keep himself chaste, then he is in the path of God. But if he went out for show and pride, then he is in the path of Satan.
