Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

KINDNESS TOWARDS MOTHER

Bahz bin Hakm (Rehmatullah Alamin) on his father’s authority said his grandfather told that he had asked ALLAAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) to whom he should show kindness. He replied “to your mother.” He asked who came next and he repied, “Your mother.” He asked (third time) who came next and he replied, “Your mother”. He asked (fourth time) who came next and he replied “Your father, then your relations in order of relationship.” [Tirmizi Abu Dawud]

Hadrat lbn Abbas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet said, “If anyone obeys ALLAAH regarding his parents in the morning, two gates of paradise will be opened for him in the morning and if there is only one parent, one gate will be opened; but if anyone disobeys ALLAAH regarding his parent’s in the morning two gates of hell will be opened. “A man asked if that applied even if they treated him wrongfully and he said, “Even if they treat him wrongfully, even if they treat him wrongfully, even if they treat him wrongfully, even if they treat him wrongfully, even if they treat him wrong fully.”

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet said, “May he be humbled; may he be humbled, may he be humbled!” He was asked about whom he was speaking and he replied, “The one whose parents or one of them are alive in their old age and he does not enter paradise by serving them. [Muslim]

Hadrat ‘Abdullah lbn ‘Abbas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) as saying, “No dutiful son gives his parents a kind look without ALLAAH recording to his credit an approved pilgrimage for every look. He was asked if that was so even if he gave a hundred looks daily and he replied, Yes, ALLAAH is most great and most gracious.” [Muslim]

Some one came to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) and asked “Messenger of ALLAAH I have wealth and my father is in need of it.” He replied, “Your wealth and you are for your parents. Certainly your children are your lawful earnings, so you can eat from the earnings of your off spring without any formality. [lbn Majah, Abu Dawud]
