2529. It was reported from Sufyān, from Ḥabīb bin Abī Thābit, from Abul-‘Abbās, from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr, who said: “A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh! Shall I engage in Jihād?’ He said: ‘Do you have parents?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Strive in looking after them.’” (Saḥīh) Abū Dāwūd said: This Abul-‘Abbās is Ash-Shā’ir (the poet), his name is As-Sā’ib bin Farrūkh.
