حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَمَّالُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ جَاهِمَةَ السُّلَمِيِّ ، أَنَّ جَاهِمَةَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ بْن مَاجَةَ : هَذَا جَاهِمَةُ بْنُ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ مِرْدَاسٍ السُّلَمِيُّ الَّذِي عَاتَبَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ .
‘With this chain also,’ Muawiyah bin Jahimah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated a similar hadith. Abu Abdullah Ibn Majah says: This is Jahimah bin Abbas bin Mirdas Salmi, who became displeased with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) at the time of the Battle of Hunayn (during the distribution of the spoils of war).

Explanation & Benefits
Ibn Majah — Hadith 2781
´It was narrated that Mu’awiyah bin Jahimah As-Sulaimi said:` “I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to go for Jihad with you, seeking thereby the Face of Allah and the Hereafter.’ He said: ‘Woe to you! Is your mother still alive?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Go back and honor her.’ Then I approached him from the other side and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to go for Jihad with you, seeking thereby the Face of Allah and the Hereafter.’ He said: ‘Woe to you! Is your mother still alive?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Go back and honour her.’ Then I approached him from in front and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to go for Jihad with you, seeking thereby the Face of Allah and the Hereafter.’ He said: ‘Woe to you! Is your mother still alive?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Go back and serve her, for there is Paradise.’”
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:

➊ In general circumstances, jihad is a collective obligation (fard kifayah), therefore some people may remain behind.

➋ When there is no other son to serve the parents, serving the parents is more important than participating in jihad.

➌ Just as Paradise is attained through jihad, likewise Paradise is also attained through serving one’s parents.

➍ Serving the mother is more important than serving the father; however, it is also necessary to avoid the displeasure of the father.

Nasai — Hadith 3106
´It was narrated from Mu'awiyah bin Jahimah As-Sulami, that Jahimah came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said:` "O Messenger of Allah! I want to go out and fight (in Jihad) and I have come to ask your advice." He said: "Do you have a mother?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then stay with her, for Paradise is beneath her feet."
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
English translation:

“Paradise is beneath her feet” — this is an idiomatic expression. The intended meaning is that by serving her, you will attain Paradise, and furthermore, serving her is your obligation. Paradise can also be attained through jihad, but that is not obligatory upon you, so fulfill your obligation and attain Paradise.
