[Machine] When Talha ibn al-Bara'ah met the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, he said, "O Prophet of Allah, command me to do something that I love and that I will not disobey." The Prophet ﷺ was amazed by this request, as Talha was still a young boy at the time. The Prophet ﷺ then told him, "In that case, kill your father." Talha went out, prepared to carry out this command, but the Prophet ﷺ called him back and said, "I have not been sent to sever family ties."
أَنَّ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ الْبَرَاءِ ؓ لَمَّا لَقِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مُرْنِي بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَا أَعْصِي لَكَ أَمْرًا قَالَ فَعَجِبَ لِذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَاقْتُلْ أَبَاكَ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ مُوَلِّيًا لِيَفْعَلَ فَدَعَاهُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أُبْعَثْ لِقَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ
