Making Amends with Loved Ones

SUMMARY: The Prophet advised a man to return to his parents and make them laugh as he had made them weep.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: A man came to the Messenger of Allah and said: I came to you to take the oath of allegiance to you on emigration, and I left my parents weeping. He (the Prophet) said: Return to them and make them laugh as you made them weep.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ ‏:‏ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏:‏ جِئْتُ أُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ وَتَرَكْتُ أَبَوَىَّ يَبْكِيَانِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ ارْجِعْ عَلَيْهِمَا فَأَضْحِكْهُمَا كَمَا أَبْكَيْتَهُمَا
