Sayyiduna Talhah bin Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I want to go for jihad with you in the way of Allah, seeking by it the pleasure of Allah." He said: "Is your mother alive?" I said: "Yes." He said: "Hold fast to serving her." I said: "I do not think the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has understood me." I repeated my words again and again, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hold on to your mother's feet (serve her), for Paradise is right there."
