صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6504
Abdullah b. 'Amr reported that a person came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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.
