Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ وَبَهْزٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا شَاعِرًا سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَهُ فِي الْجِهَادِ فَقَالَ أَحَيٌّ وَالِدَاكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَفِيهِمَا فَجَاهِدْ قَالَ بَهْزٌ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو.

Affan and Bahz said: Shu'bah narrated from Habib ibn Abi Thabit who said: I heard Abu al-Abbas - and he was a poet. I heard Abdullah ibn Amr who said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) seeking permission for jihad. He said: "Are your parents alive?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then strive in serving them." Bahz said: Ibn Abi Thabit informed me from Abu al-Abbas who said: I asked Abdullah ibn Amr.
