أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ نَشِيطٌ وَ أُحِبُّ الْجِهَادَ وَ لِي وَالِدَةٌ تَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ارْجِعْ فَكُنْ مَعَ وَالِدَتِكَ فَوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً لَأُنْسُهَا بِكَ لَيْلَةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ جِهَادِكَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ سَنَةً .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir who said, ‘A man came over to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> and he said, ‘I am a man who is an active youth, and I love the <span class="iTxt">Jihād</span>, and for me is a mother who dislikes that’. So the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> said to him: ‘Return, and be with your mother, for by the One<sup>azwj</sup> Who Sent me<sup>saww</sup> with the Truth as a Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, Your comforting her for one night is better than your <span class="iTxt">Jihād</span> in the Way of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> for a year’.
