As-Salaam alaikum,
There is a direct hadith supporting the statement of the Sufis that Jihad, in addition to meaning fighting against the outward enemy, also means struggling against the ego-self (nafs), for the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said :- "The Mujahid is the one who makes Jihad against his nafs and its desires for the sake of obeying Allah." (Tirmidhi No. 1594,Ibn Majah, 3924).

And this is exactly one of the basic principles of Ihsan (Tasawwuf). Furthermore, the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said to Umm Anas, may Allah be pleased with her:

" Petfrom the ritual prayer, for it is the best Jihad. Abandon sins, for that is the best migration (hijra). And invoke Allah frequently, for that is the most beloved act with which you meet Allah." (Tabarani in his Mu'jam al-Kabir 25 :129).

From this hadith, we learn that the act of Jihad is not exclusive to the battlefield, and that the regular performance of Sallah - and fulfilling its conditions with perfection - is a kind of Jihad against the lazy and erring self (ego).

ترجمہ : حضرت ابن عباس رضی اللہ عنہ سے مروی ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : جو صالح اولاد محبت کی نظر سے اپنے والدین کو دیکھے تو اسے ہر نگاہ پر اللہ تعالیٰ ایک مقبول حج کا ثواب بخشتا ہے، لوگوں نے پوچھا: اگر دن میں سو مرتبہ دیکھے تو ؟ فرمایا: تب بھی ، اللہ بہت بڑا ہے اور بڑا پاکیزہ ہے (یعنی ہر مرتبہ دیکھنے کا ثواب حج مقبول کی صورت میں دے گا۔)

When chidren look at their parents with respect and affection, they shall be rewarded with virtue of an accepted haj.

But wait... they are not Hajees, obligation of haj will not get diluted here.

Similarly, someone fighting against his nafs is like a mujahid, but not a Mujahid. Mujahid is one who physically positioned at the borders.
