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.
