أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ الْوَرَّاقُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ جَاهِمَةَ السَّلَمِيِّ ، أَنَّ جَاهِمَةَ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَغْزُوَ وَقَدْ جِئْتُ أَسْتَشِيرُكَ ، فَقَالَ : " هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ أُمٍّ ؟ " قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " فَالْزَمْهَا ، فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهَا " .
´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."

Explanation & Benefits
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.

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.
