Hadith on Parents: Return to your parents, make them laugh

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: A man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said, “I have come to pledge allegiance to you upon emigration, and I left my parents weeping.” The Prophet said, “Return to them and make them laugh, just as you made them cry.”

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ جِئْتُ أُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ وَتَرَكْتُ أَبَوَيَّ يَبْكِيَانِ فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ عَلَيْهِمَا فَأَضْحِكْهُمَا كَمَا أَبْكَيْتَهُمَا
