10 Hadith on Parents
Quarrelling with One’s Father
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللٌّهِ (ع): ثَلاَثَةٌ مَنْ
عَازَهُمْ ذَلَّ الْوَالِدُ وَ السُّلْطَانُ وَ
الْغَرِيـمُ.
Imam as-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: “There
are three individuals that whoever argues with
them shall suffer humiliation and disgrace:
one’s father; a (just) ruler; and one in debt.”
Fragrance of Paradise
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللٌّهِ (ص) فِي كَلاَمٍ لَهُ:
إِيَّاكُمْ وَ عُقُوقَ الْوَالِدَيْنِ فَإِنَّ
رِيحَ الْجَنَّةِ تُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ أَلْفِ
عَامٍ وَ لاَ يَجِدُهَا عَاقٌّ وَ لاَ قَاطِعُ
رَحِمٍ.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and
his family) has said: “Beware of become disowned
by your parents, for verily the fragrance of
paradise which can be smelt from a distance of a
thousand years, shall never reach the nostrils
of one who has been disowned by his parents and
one who has severed the bonds of kinship (with
his relatives).”
No Entry into Paradise!
عَنِ الصَّادِقِ (ع) قاَلَ: لاَ يَدْخُلُ
الْجَنَّةَ الْعَاقُ لِوَالِدَيهِ وَ الْمُدْمِنُ
الْخَمْرِ وَ الْمَنَّانُ بِأَفْعَالِ الْخَيْرِ
إِذَا عَمِلَهُ.
Imam as-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said:
“The person who has been disowned by his
parents, one who consumes intoxicants and one
who does acts of goodness towards others but
imposes obligations upon them shall never enter
into Paradise.”
Allah
Shall Not Exhibit Mercy Upon Them!
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللٌّهِ (ص): أَرْبَعَةٌ لاَ
يَنْظُرُ اللٌّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
عَاقٌّ وَ مَنَّانٌ وَ مُكَذِّبٌ بِالْقَدَرِ وَ
مُدْمِنُ خَمْرٍ.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and
his family) has stated: “On the Day of Judgment
there shall be four groups of people upon whom
Allah shall not cast His look of mercy: those
who have been disowned by their parents, those
who place obligations upon others after doing
good to them, those who reject the concept of
fate and destiny and the one who consumes
intoxicants.” Biharul Anwar, Volume 74, Page 71
Chastisement in This World
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللٌّهِ (ص): ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ
الذُّنُوبِ تُعَجَّلُ عُقُوبَتُهَا وَ لاَ
تُؤَخَّرُ إِلَى الأَخِرَةِ عُقُوقُ
الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَ الْبَغْيُ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَ
كُفْرُ الإِِحْسَانِ.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and
his family) has stated: “There are three sins,
the punishments of which are hastened and not
deferred for the hereafter: disownment by one’s
parents, committing oppression upon the people,
and ingratitude with respect to kindness.”
Biharul Anwar, Volume 74, Page 74
The Grave Sin
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللٌّهِ (ع) قَالَ: أَلذُّنُوبُ
الَّتِي تَظْـلُمُ الْهَوَاءَ عُقُوقُ
الْوَالِدَينِ.
Imam as-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: “A
sin that darkens the skies is being disowned by
one’s parents.” Biharul Anwar, Volume 74, Page
74
Wretchedness
عَنِ الصَّادِقِ (ع) قَالَ: عُقُوقُ
الْوَالِدَيْنِ مِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ لِأَنَّ اللٌّهَ
جَعَلَ الْعَاقَّ عَصِيّاً شَقِيّاً.
Imam as-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has stated:
“Becoming disowned by one’s parents is one of
the Great Sins. This is because Allah, the
Mighty and the Glorious, has termed such a
person disobedient and wretched.” Biharul Anwar,
Volume 74, Page 74
Perdition
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللٌّهِ (ع) أَنَّ رَسُولَ
اللٌّهِ (ص) حَضَرَ شَابّاً عِنْدَ وَفَاتِهِ
فَقَالَ: لَهُ قُلْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللٌّهُ.
قَالَ: فَاعْتُقِلَ لِسَانُهُ مِرَاراً. فَقَالَ
لِإِمْرَأَةٍ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ: هَلْ لِهٌذَا
أُمٌّ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ أَنَا أُمُّهُ. قَالَ:
أَفَسَاخِطَةٌ [أَنْتِ] عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَتْ:
نَعَمْ مَا كَلَّمْتُهُ مُنْذُ سِتِّ حِجَجٍ.
قَالَ لَهَا: ارْضَيْ عَنْهُ. قَالَتْ: رَضِيَ
اللٌّهُ عَنْهُ بِرِضَاكَ عَنْهُ يَا رَسُولَ
اللٌّهِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللٌّهِ (ص): قُلْ
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللٌّهُ. قَالَ فَقَالَهَا
ثُمَّ طَفَا.
Imam as-Sadiq (peace be upon him) relates:
“Once, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him
and his family) approached a youth who was on
the verge of dying, and said to him: “Say ‘There
is no God except Allah.’ But the youth’s tongue
appeared to be tied and he was unable utter the
words. When this took place several times, the
Prophet said to a lady standing near the youth’s
head: “Does this youth have a mother?” The lady
replied: “Yes, I am his mother.” The Prophet
asked her: “Are you angry with him?” She
confessed: “Yes. I have not spoken to him for
the last six years.” Hearing this, he said to
her: “Be pleased with him.” She agreed and said:
“O’ Prophet of Allah! For the sake of your
pleasure, may Allah be pleased with him.” (Then,
turning to the youth) he said: “Say ‘There is no
God, except Allah’). (This time) the youth was
able to recite the words and shortly afterwards,
his soul departed his body.” Biharul Anwar,
Volume 74, Page 75
Acts without Benefits
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللٌّهُ (ص): يُقَالُ لِلْعَاقِّ
إِعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنِّي لاَ أَغْفِرُ لَكَ
وَ يُقَالُ لِلْبَارِّ إِعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ
فَإِنِّي سَأَغْفِرُ لَكَ.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and
his family) has said: “One who has been disowned
by his parents is told: ‘Act as you please, for
I shall not forgive you.’ Whereas one who is
good towards his parents is told, ‘Act as you
please. I will be forgiving towards you.’”
Biharul Anwar, Volume 74, Page 80
Forgiveness of Sins
عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَينِ (ع) قَالَ: جَاءَ
رُجُلٌ إِلـى النَّبِيِّ (ص) فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ
اللٌّهِ مَا مِنْ عَمَلٍ قَبِيحٍ إِلاَّ قَدْ
عَمِلْتُهُ فَهَلْ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةِ؟ فَقَالَ
لَهُ رَسُولُ اللٌّهُ (ص) فَهَلْ مِنْ وَالِدَيكْ
أَحَدٌ حَيٌّ؟ قَالَ أَبِي. قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ
فَبِرْهُ. قَالَ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ رَسُولُ
اللٌّهُ (ص): لَوْ كَانَتْ أُمُّهُ.
Imam Zainul `Abidin (peace be upon him)
relates: “Once a person approached the Messenger
of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) and
said: ‘O’ Prophet of Allah! I have committed
every known evil act. Is there a chance that I
may be forgiven?’ The Messenger of Allah asked
him: ‘Are any of your parents still alive?’ The
man replied: ‘My father.’ He said to him: ‘Go
and be good and kind to him.’ When he left, the
Messenger of Allah muttered: ‘If only his mother
had been alive.’” Biharul Anwar, Volume 74, Page
