[Machine] He said, "We participated in the Battle of Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and a young man passed by us actively driving his spoils. We said, 'If only this young man and his energy were in the cause of Allah, it would be better for him than this.' Our statement reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he asked, 'What did you say?' We said, 'This and that.' He said, 'If he strives for the sake of his parents or one of them, he is in the cause of Allah. And if he strives for the well-being of his family, he is in the cause of Allah. And if he strives for his own self, he is in the cause of Allah.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَبُوكًا فَمَرَّ بِنَا شَابٌّ نَشِيطٌ يَسُوقُ غُنَيْمَةً لَهُ فَقُلْنَا لَوْ كَانَ شَبَابُ هَذَا وَنَشَاطُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنْهَا فَانْتَهَى قَوْلُنَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا قُلْتُمْ؟ قُلْنَا كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى وَالِدَيْهِ أَوْ أَحَدِهِمَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى عِيَالٍ يَكْفِيهِمْ فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ﷻ
