Once he was almost killed by bandits when he lay down to recite the night Shema in accordance to the opinion of Beis Shami as he was traveling on the road. When he recited this incident he was told by the Sages that he would have been responsible for his own death for having ignored the Halachicly accepted opinion of Beis Hillel. |

Rabbi Tarfon was very careful to keep the commandment of honoring his mother. Once his mother was strolling in the garden on Shabbos and her sandal ripped. Rabbi Tarfon was unable to bring another shoe due to the transgression of transferring objects on Shabbos from private to public domains. Instead he placed both his hands under her foot and allowed her to walk on them until she reached her bed. | Rabbi Tarfon was very careful to keep the commandment of honoring his mother.
