[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was visited by a man who wanted to pledge allegiance to him for the purpose of migration. The man was rude to him, so the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "I did not come to you so that I would make both of his parents cry, meaning the man's parents. He (the Prophet) said, "Go back and make them (the man's parents) laugh as you made them cry."  

أحمد:٦٩٠٩ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ يُبَايِعُهُ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ وَغَلَّظَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا جِئْتُكَ حَتَّى أَبْكَيْتُهُمَا يَعْنِي وَالِدَيْهِ قَالَ ارْجِعْ فَأَضْحِكْهُمَا كَمَا أَبْكَيْتَهُمَا
