hadith 849

Am'mar ibn Hay'yan told Imam Sadiq (a.s) that his son Ismail treats him kindly. Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “I liked him too. Now I like him more. The Prophet's foster sister went to see him, and once she saw him she got happy and spread her veil for him to sit on. Then they talked and smiled for a while. She left and her brother came, but the Prophet did not treat him as warmly as he treated his sister. The Prophet of God was asked for the reason he treated his sister better than his brother. He said it is because she treats he parents kindly.”

عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

مر إسماعيل، فقال: كنت أحبه فقد ازددت له حبا، إن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) أتته أخت له من الرضاعة فلما نظر إليها سر بها وبسط لها ملحفته فأجلسها عليها، ثم أقبل يحدثها ويضحك في وجهها، ثم قامت فذهبت وجاء أخوها فلم يصنع به ما يصنع بها، فقيل: يا رسول الله، صنعت بأخته ما لم تصنع به وهو رجل، فقال: لأنها كانت أبر بأبويها منه.

Imam Baqir (a.s) narrated that

a man went to see God's Prophet (a.s) and said: “My parents lived for many years and got old. My father passed away, but my mother is alive. She got so old that I have to chew food for her, just as they do for a baby. I put a pillow for her just as they do for a baby. I put her in cradle and rock her to sleep. She got so old that sometimes she asks me for something but I do not understand what she wants. Or I ask her for something, but she does not understand what I want. When I saw this, I asked God to give me breasts with milk to be able to breast-feed her. Then I developed breasts and I pushed them and milk started to flow. Therefore now I breast- feed her just as she breast-fed me.” At this point God's Prophet (a.s) cried and said: “You have attained goodness. You asked God for something with the intention to get close to Him.” The man asked: “Have I been able to compensate for her efforts for me?' The Prophet (a.s) said: “No. Not even one of her cries of pain during labor.”

عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال

أتى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) رجل فقال: إن أبوي عمرا وإن أبي مضى وبقيت أمي، فبلغ بها الكبر حتى صرت أمضع لها كما يمضع للصبي، وأوسدها كما يوسد للصبي، وعلقتها في مكتل أحركها فيه لتنام، ثم بلغ من أمرها إلى أن كانت تريد مني الحاجة فلا أدري أي شئ هو، وأريد منها الحاجة فلا تدري أي شئ هو، فلما رأيت ذلك سألت الله عز وجل أن ينبت علي ثديا يجري فيه اللبن حتى أرضعها، قال: ثم كشف عن صدره فإذا ثدي، ثم عصره فخرج منه اللبن، ثم قال: هو ذا أرضعتها كما كانت ترضعني، قال: فبكى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) ثم قال: أصبت خيرا، سألت ربك وأنت تنوي قربته، قال: فكافأتها؟ قال: لا، ولا بزفرة من زفراتها.

hadith 865

The Prophet (a.s) said: “I advise my present and future nation up until the Resurrection Day to treat their parents with kindness even if they have to walk for two years to reach them, since this is a part of our religion.”

قال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله): أوصي الشاهد من أمتي والغائب ومن في أصلاب الرجال وأرحام النساء إلى يوم القيامة ببر الوالدين، وإن سافر أحدهم في ذلك سنتين، فإن ذلك من أمر الدين.

hadith 866

Imam Sadiq (a.s) narrated that an Arab man went to see the Prophet (a.s) and stretched out his hand toward the Prophet and asked God's Prophet (a.s) to let him pledge allegiance to Islam. The Prophet (a.s) said

“So that you kill your father?” The Arab man withdrew his hand. God's Prophet (a.s) turned to the people to talk, but the Arab man returned and said the same thing again. The Prophet (a.s) said: “So that you kill your father?” This time the man said “Yes” and the Prophet shook his hand in a pledge of allegiance to Islam, and said: “Now is the time for: “Take none for friends and protectors except God, His Apostle, and the (community of) Believers.” [The Holy Quran: Tauba 9:16] But I will not order you to disobey your parents. But treat them with kindness in this world.”

عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

جاء أعرابي إلى النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) فقال: يا رسول الله، بايعني على الإسلام، فقال: أن تقتل أباك؟ فكف الأعرابي يده، وأقبل رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) على القوم يحدثهم، فعاد الأعرابي بالقول فأجابه رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) بمثل الأول، فكف الأعرابي يده، فأقبل رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) على القوم يحدثهم، ثم عاد الأعرابي، فقال: أن تقتل أباك؟ فقال: نعم، فبايعه، ثم قال له رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): الآن حين لم ﴿يتخذوا من دون الله ولا رسوله ولا المؤمنين وليجة﴾ إني لا آمر بعقوق الوالدين ولكن صاحبهما في الدنيا معروفا.
