Upon the authority of Ka’b
ibn ‘Ujrah – Radhiyallahu Anhu – Who said:
“A man passed by the Prophet
– Sallallahu alaihi Was Salam and the Companions of the Messenger of Allah –
Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Salam saw his hardiness, striving and his briskness, so
they said: Oh Messenger of Allah! If only this was ‘fee sabeelillah’ (In the
way of Allah)! So the Messenger of Allah – Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Was Salam said:
“If he has left out striving for his young son, then he is ‘fee sabeelillah’,
and if he left out striving for his elderly parents, then he is fee
sabeelillah, and if left out striving for the virtue and chastity of his own
soul, then he is ‘fee sabeellillah’. But if he set out to be seen of the
people, and to contend with others in mutual boasting then he is fee sabeelish
Shaytaan! (In the path of Shaytaan!)“

‘Saheehul Jaami’ (1428)
