Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Talha bin Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I presented myself before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I wish to go out with you in the path of Allah and seek Allah’s pleasure through it." He ﷺ said, "Is your mother alive?" I replied, "Yes." He ﷺ said, "Then remain in her service." I said, "I do not think, O Prophet of Allah ﷺ, that you have understood what I mean." I repeated my statement several times. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Hold on to your mother’s feet (serve her), for Paradise is there."
