Yes Masha'Allah. I was watching the other day a video on YouTube and the Shaykh said that Angel Jibreel once came to the Prophet (SAW) and told him about a man who respected his Mother and was good to his mother (remember Angel Jibreel has come to say this because Allah told him to tell the Prophet so this man (forgot his name, sorry) must be extremely good to his mother) and so the Prophet (SAW) told one of his companions to ask this good man to make Dua for him (the companion) and the companion questioned why and the Prophet (SAW) said because he treats his mother well. So anyways this man who treated his sick mother well was the only person looking after her and his dream was to travel to Makkah to meet the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) so he wanted to go but he also had to look after his mother. So his mother told him to go to Makkah (A months travel) and stay two days and then come back. And so he set of on his journey to Makkah but when he got there, the Prophet (SAW) was away and he was gonna be back in a couple of weeks. So he had two decisions he could make: listen to his mother and go back home, or wait the few short weeks and obtain the title of being a Sahabi! Now being a Sahabi is a very big thing - it's truely amazing. But the man chose to go back to his mother instead. SubhanAllah! How amazing is that?! It's not like he would've made his journey that much longer and being a Sahabi would've been amazing but he still chose to listen to his mother. Insha'Allah he (and you and I ;D) will see the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in Jannah
