Sunan Ibn Majah 2781 (Book 24, Hadith 29) #32135
Prioritizing Mother's Honor Over Jihad

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised Muawiyah bin Jahimah As-Sulaimi to prioritize honoring and serving his mother over going for Jihad.

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.’" Another chain reports a similar hadith. Ibn Majah said: This is Jahimah bin 'Abbas bin Mirdas As-Sulaimi who criticized the Prophet ﷺ the Day of Hunain.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of honoring one’s mother, even if it means foregoing other important activities such as jihad.

He told him that if he honors his mother, he will be rewarded with Paradise in the Hereafter.
