قال الله تعالى: {وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا ۚ إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَا أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيمًا * وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا} (الإسراء: 23-24)

Allah, the Most High, says, {Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them but address them in terms of honor. And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood.} (Al-Isra: 23-24)

فَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَخْدِمَهُمَا كَمَا خَدَمُوكَ. وَلَكِنَّ خِدْمَتَكَ لَيْسَتْ مُسَاوِيَةً لِخِدْمَتِهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ عَانَوْا كَثِيرًا فِي تَرْبِيَتِكَ، رَاجِينَ أَنْ تَعِيشَ طَوِيلًا. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَحِينَ تَحْمِلُ أَعْبَاءَهُمَا فَإِنَّكَ تَرْجُو أَنْ يَمُوتَا سَرِيعًا.

Therefore, you should serve them as they did with you. But your service is not equal to theirs as they suffered a lot in bringing you up, hoping that you might live long. On the other hand, when you shoulder their burdens you hope that they will die soon.

قال الله تعالى: {أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيْكَ إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُ} (لقمان: ١٤)

Allah, the Most High, says, {Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: To Me is thy final goal.} (Luqman: 14)

انظر كيف قرن الله الشكر له بالشكر للوالدين. قال ابن عباس رضي الله عنه: "نزلت ثلاث آيات مقترنة بثلاث أخرى، لا تُقبل إحداهن بدون الأخرى."

Behold, how Allah has associated gratitude to Him with the gratitude to the parents Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), said, "There are three verses (ayat) which have been revealed associated with three others. They are not accepted separately.

أ) يقول الله تعالى: {وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَاحْذَرُوا فَإِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا عَلَىٰ رَسُولِنَا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ} (المائدة: ٩٢)

a) Allah, the Most High, says, {Obey Allah and Obey the Messenger. And beware (of evil) if ye do turn back, know ye that it is our Messenger's duty to proclaim (the message in the clearest manner.} (Al-Ma'idah: 92)

وبناءً على ذلك، فمن أطاع الله وحده لم تُقبل طاعته.

Thus, whoever only obeys Allah will have his obedience not accepted.

ب) {وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ} (البقرة: ٤٣)

b) {And be steadfast in prayer: Give Zakat.} (AI-Baqarah: 43)

لذلك، فمن صلّى ولم يؤدِّ الزكاة فلن تُقبل صلاته. ج) {أنِ اشكُر لي ولوالديك إليَّ المصير} (لقمان: 14)

Hence, whoever performed prayers and does not pay Zakat will have his prayers not accepted c) {Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to Me is thy final goal.} (Luqman: 14)

من شكر الله وأهمل والديه لم تُقبل شكرُه.

Whoever shows gratitude to Allah and neglects his parents will not have his gratitude accepted.

قال النبي ﷺ: «رضا الله في رضا الوالد، وسخطه في سخط الوالد».1

The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Allah's satisfaction is the parent's and His Wrath is theirs.”1

جاء رجل يستأذن النبي ﷺ في الجهاد، فقال له: «أحيّ والداك؟» قال: نعم يا رسول الله. فقال: «ففيهما فجاهِد» ‏1

"A man came and sought permission for Jihad (fighting in the way of Allah). The prophet (pbuh) asked him: '”Are your parents living? The man said" yes, Sir.' He said, 'Then carry on Jihad in service to your parents as this is as good as Jihad.”1

انظر كيف فضّل الله طاعة الوالدين وبرّهما على الجهاد! وقال النبي ﷺ: «ألا أنبئكم بأكبر الكبائر؟ الإشراك بالله وعقوق الوالدين». وقد قرن الله عقوق الوالدين بعبادة غيره معه في مواضع من كتابه.

Behold, how Allah has preferred obeying and honoring the parents to Jihad! The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Shall I not tell you of the worst major sins? Worshipping others with Allah and showing disrespect to parents." Again Allah associates showing disrespect to parents with worshipping others besides Him.

روي أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: «لا يدخل الجنة عاق لوالديه، ولا المنّان بما أعطى، ولا مدمن الخمر».2

It was related that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Whoever shows disrespect to his parents, he who reminds recipients of his charity to them and he who addicts to wine will not enter Paradise.”2

وفي رواية أخرى قال النبي ﷺ: «لو علم الله شيئاً أدنى من أف (كلمة استخفاف) في عقوق الوالدين لنهى عنه. فليفعل الابن العاق ما شاء، لن يدخل الجنة، وليفعل الابن البار ما يريد، لن يدخل النار».3

In another tradition the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Had Allah known something concerning showing disrespect to one's parents little than Uf (a word of contempt) He would have forbidden it. Let the rebellious son do whatever he does, he will not enter Paradise, and let the obedient son do whatever he wants, he will not enter the Hell-Fire.”3

قال رسول الله ﷺ: «لعن الله من سبّ والديه». 4

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "May Allah curse he who shows disrespect to his parents.” 4

لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَيْهِ، لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَتَهُ. 5

"May Allah curse he who reviles his father; may Allah curse he who reviles his mother.” 5

روي عن رسول الله ﷺ أنه قال: «إنّ الله يُؤخّر ما شاء من الذنوب إلى يوم القيامة، إلّا عقوق الوالدين، فإنه يُعجَّل لصاحبه».6

It was related that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “Allah respites whatever He wants of the sins until the day of Judgment save showing disrespect to one's parents, it will be hastened to its doer.”6

أي: العقوبة الدنيوية قبل يوم القيامة. قال كعب الأحبار رضي الله عنه: «إن الله يُعجِّل موتَ من أساء إلى والديه ليعذّبه، وإن الله يزيد في عمر من بَرَّ والديه ليُبارك له». ومن إكرام الوالدين أيضًا الإنفاق عليهما بما يحتاجانه من نفقات المعيشة إذا كانا محتاجين. فقد جاء رجل إلى النبي ﷺ فقال: «يا رسول الله، إن أبي يأخذ مالي». فقال النبي ﷺ: «أنتَ ومالُك لأبيك».7

i.e. the worldly punishment before the Day of Judgment Ka'b Al-Ahbar, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "Allah hastens the death of anyone who shows disrespect to his parents so as torture him. On the other hand, Allah increases one's life span if he is kind to his parents to bless him." Treating one's parents with honour also requires sustaining them with the living costs when they are needy. A man came and said to the Prophet (pbuh), "0 Messenger of Allah, my father asks for my property.” Then the. Prophet (pbuh) said, "Both you and what you possess are your father's.”7

عندما سُئل كعب الأحبار عن معنى العقوق للوالدين، قال: "أن يُقسم أبوه أو أمه فلا يبرّ قسمهما، وأن يأمراه بأمر فلا يطيعهما، وأن يسألاه شيئًا فيمنعهما، وأن يأتمناه على شيء فيخونهما."

When Ka'b Al-Ahbar was asked about the meaning of showing disrespect to one's parents, he said, "When one's father or mother swore an oath and he or she did not fulfill it. When they ordered him to do something but he did not obey. When they ask him for some thing and he refused. When they entrust him for something but deceives them.

سُئِلَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أَصْحَابِ الأَعْرَافِ، فَقَالَ: أَمَّا الأَعْرَافُ فَهُوَ جَبَلٌ بَيْنَ النَّارِ وَالْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ بِذَلِكَ لِأَنَّهُ يُشْرِفُ عَلَى النَّارِ وَالْجَنَّةِ. وَهُوَ مُغَطًّى بِالأَشْجَارِ وَالثِّمَارِ وَالأَنْهَارِ وَالآبَارِ. وَأَمَّا الرِّجَالُ الَّذِينَ يَقِفُونَ عَلَيْهِ، فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا لِلْقِتَالِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ آبَائِهِمْ ثُمَّ قُتِلُوا. فَالشَّهَادَةُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تُجِيرُهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَلَكِنَّ عُقُوقَ آبَائِهِمْ حَرَمَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ. فَيَبْقَوْنَ عَلَى الأَعْرَافِ حَتَّى يَحْكُمَ اللهُ فِيهِمْ.

Ibn 'Abbas was asked about Ashab Al- 'Araf (men of the Heights) and he said; "As for the Heights, it is a mountain between Fire and Paradise. It is so-called because it outlooks Fire and Paradise. It is also covered by trees, fruits, rivers and wells. As for the men who seized thereon, they are those who went out to fight in the cause of Allah without their parents' permission and then are killed. Death in the cause of Allah protects them from the Hell-Fire. But disobedience to their parents deprived them of Paradise. Thus, they will be on the Heights until Allah judges them.

روي أن رجلاً سأل النبي ﷺ: "من أحق الناس بحسن صحبتي بعد الله؟" فقال ﷺ: "أمك". قال: ثم من؟ قال ﷺ: "أمك". قال: ثم من؟ قال ﷺ: "أمك". قال: ثم من؟ قال ﷺ: "أبوك، ثم الأقرب فالأقرب". 1

It was related that a man asked the Prophet (pbuh), "Who deserves my service most after Allah?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man asked again, "And who is next?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man asked further, "Who is next?" The Prophet replied, "Your mother.” The man asked once more, "And who is next?" The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Your father and then the closer kins.” 1

ولهذا أكّد النبيُّ ﷺ أنّ الأمَّ هي التي تستحقّ العنايةَ الكبيرة، فذكرها ثلاثَ مرّات. فإنّ الأمَّ هي التي تتحمّلُ الكثيرَ في الحمل، والولادة، والإرضاع، والرعايةِ المستمرّةِ للطفلِ ليلًا ونهارًا.

Thus, the Prophet (pbuh) emphasizes that the mother is the one who deserves much concern and therefore he mentioned her three times. It is the mother indeed who bears a lot in pregnancy, giving birth, and suckling and constant care to the child night and day.

كان ابنُ عُمَرَ يَرَى رَجُلًا يَحْمِلُ أُمَّهُ عَلَى كَاهِلِهِ وَيَطُوفُ بِهَا حَوْلَ الكَعْبَةِ، فَسَأَلَهُ: «أَتَرَى أَنِّي قَدْ جَزَيْتُهَا؟» قَالَ: «لَا، وَلَا بِزَفْرَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْ زَفَرَاتِ الطَّلْقِ».

Once Ibn 'Umar saw a man bearing his mother upon his shoulder and making circumambulation around the Ka'ba. The map ' asked him, "Do you think that I requite her? No, not even with a cry from childbirth.

لكن، أحسنتَ. فإن الله سيعطيك في مقابل العمل اليسير أجرًا عظيمًا.2

But, well done. Allah will give you in return for a little deed a great reward.”2

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال النبي ﷺ: «أربعة لا يدخلون الجنة بقدر الله: مدمن الخمر، وآكل الربا، ومن استحل مال اليتيم بغير حق، والعاق لوالديه». [3]

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the Prophet (pbuh) said, "There are four people who will not enter Paradise as Allah decreed: a drunkard, a usurer, he who appropriates the orphan's property without a legal cause and he who shows disrespect to one's parents.” 3

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ ﷺ: «الْجَنَّةُ تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِ الْأُمَّهَاتِ».4

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Paradise lies beneath the feet of mothers.”4

جاء رجلٌ إلى أبي الدرداء فقال: يا أبا الدرداء، إني تزوجتُ امرأةً، وقد أمرتني أمي بطلاقها. فقال أبو الدرداء: الوالدُ أوسطُ أبوابِ الجنة، فإن شئتَ فأضِعْ ذلك الباب، وإن شئتَ فاحفَظْه.5

A man came to Abu Ad-Darda' and said, "O Abu Ad-Darda', I have married a woman but my mother ordered me to divorce her." Then Abu Ad-Darda' said, "Parents is the middle gate of Paradise. You may either miss or preserve it.”5

قال رسول الله ﷺ: «ثلاث دعوات مستجابات لا شك فيهن: دعوة المظلوم، ودعوة المسافر، ودعوة الوالد على ولده».

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Three supplications are surely acceptable: the supplication of the oppressed, the traveler and the parents against their children.” 6

العمة تُعامَل معاملة الأم، أي بالإكرام والبر.

“An aunt is treated as a mother i. e., honorable treatment.” 1

قال وهب بن منبه: "وفي الألواح التي كتبها الله لموسى: يا موسى! بِرَّ والديك. فمن بَرَّ والديه أطلتُ عمره ورزقتُه ذرّيةً شاكرة. ومن عقَّ والديه قصّرتُ عمره ورزقتُه ذرّيةً جاحدة."2

Wahb Ibn Munabbih said, "In the tablets written by Allah to Musa is the following, 'O Musa! Respect your parents. Whoever respects his parents I will extend his life span and grant him a grateful progeny. But, whoever shows disrespect to his parents I will shorten his life span and grant him an ungrateful progeny.”2

قال أبو بكر ابن أبي مريم أيضًا: «قرأتُ في التوراة أن من ضرب أباه يُقتل». وكذلك قال وهب: «قرأتُ في التوراة أن من لطم أباه يُرجم حتى الموت». وقال عمرو بن مُرّة الجهني: «جاء رجلٌ إلى رسول الله ﷺ فقال: يا رسول الله، ما تقول إن صليتُ الفرائض، وصمتُ رمضان، وأديتُ زكاة مالي، وحججتُ البيت إن استطعتُ إليه سبيلًا، فما لي من الأجر؟ فقال رسول الله ﷺ: من فعل ذلك كان مع الأنبياء والصدِّيقين والشهداء، ما لم يعقّ والديه».3

Abu Bakr Ibn Abu Mariam also said, "I read in the Torah that he who hits his father will be killed." Similarly, Wahb said, "I read in the Torah that he who slaps his father should be stoned until death." `Amr Ibn Murrah Al-Juhanni said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah and asked, 'OMessenger of Allah, what do you say if/pray obligatory duties, fast during Ramadan, give due Zakat on my Y1-'ealth, and perform Hajj if I am able to do so, what is my reward?' The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, 'He who does this, he will be with the prophets, truthful people and the martyrs unless he disrespects his parents.”3

قال رسول الله ﷺ: «لعن الله من عقّ والديه». رواه ... (وأُضيف في الأصل: "It was narrated" بمعنى رُوي، فتُرجم بصيغة الرواية). وقال رسول الله ﷺ: «لقيتُ ليلة الإسراء قومًا معلّقين في النار على جذوع من نار» (في الأصل: "In the night of /sra' (Night Journey) / saw groups of people in the Hell-Fire hanged on trunks of fire"). قال: «قلتُ: من هؤلاء يا جبريل؟ قال: هؤلاء الذين يَسبّون آباءهم في الدنيا». وقال بِشر: من كانت أمّه تُؤنسه وتسمع كلامها أفضل ممن يقاتل بسيفه في سبيل الله. والنظر إليها يفوق كل شيء. وقد عُرض على النبي ﷺ رجلٌ وامرأةٌ يتحاكمان في ولدهما، فقال الرجل: يا رسول الله، هذا ابني خُلق من صُلبي. وقالت المرأة: يا رسول الله، حملَه في بطنه خفيفًا، ووضعتُه بمشقّة، وأرضعتُه سنتين كاملتين. فقضى النبي ﷺ للأم.4

It was related that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "May Allah curse he who shows disrespect to his parents." It was narrated. Also that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "In the night of /sra' (Night Journey) / saw groups of people in the Hell-Fire hanged on trunks of fire. / asked, "Who are they, Gabriel?" He said, "They are those who revile their parents in this world.” Bishr said, "Whoever is intimated by his mother and listens to her speech is better than the one who fights with his sword in the cause of Allah. Gazing at her surpasses every thing. Once a man and a woman presented before the Prophet (pbuh) arguing about their child. The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, he is my child who was created from my loins (backbone)." On the other hand, the woman said, "O Messenger of Allah he bore him lightly and proceeded it out of lust. But I bore him in travail, delivered him in travail and suckled him during two full years." Thereupon, the Prophet judged for the mother.”4

في زمن النبي ﷺ كان هناك شاب يُدعى علقمة، وكان من شدة تعبده يجتهد كثيرًا في أداء الصلوات الكثيرة والصيام، وفي إنفاق المال في الصدقة. وأصابه مرض مميت، فأخبرت زوجته النبي ﷺ بأن زوجها يحتضر. فأرسل النبي ﷺ عمارًا وصهيبًا وبلالًا ليلقّنوا المحتضر كلمة الشهادة. فلما وصلوا إليه وجدوه يحتضر، فبدؤوا يلقّنونه أن يقول: لا إله إلا الله، ولكنه لم يستطع أن يرددها.

In the Prophet's lifetime, there was a young man called Alqamah. He was so devout that he exerted great efforts in performing many prayers, fasting and spending money in charity. He had a fatal disease that his wife informed the Prophet (pbuh) that her husband was dying. Thereby, the Prophet (pbuh) sent `Ammar, Suhaib and Bilal to instruct the dying to say the testification of Faith. When they arrived there, they found him dying. Therefore, they began to instruct him to say there is no god but Allah, but he could not repeat it.

فرجعوا إلى النبي ﷺ يستشيرونه. فقال النبي ﷺ: «هل كان له والدان أحياء؟» فقالوا: كانت له أم عجوز. فأمرهم النبي ﷺ أن يأتوا بها إن استطاعت أن تمشي، وإلا فإنه ﷺ سيذهب إليها. فلما بلغها رسالة النبي ﷺ، قالت: «أفديه بنفسي، سأذهب إليه». فمشت متكئة على عصا، فلما سلّمت، قال النبي ﷺ: «يا أم علقمة، قولي لي الحق، فإن كذبتِ أوحى الله إليّ بالحق. كيف كان علقمة؟» قالت: «كان يكثر من الصلاة والصيام والصدقة بالمال». ثم سألها النبي ﷺ: «وماذا عنكِ؟» فقالت: «يا رسول الله، إني ساخطة عليه». فقال: «ولماذا؟» قالت: «لأنه يفضّل زوجته عليّ، ويعصيني». فقال النبي ﷺ: «إن رضا أم علقمة يحبس لسان علقمة عن النطق بشهادة الإيمان». ثم قال النبي ﷺ: «يا بلال، اذهب فاجمع حطبًا». فقالت المرأة: «لماذا يا رسول الله؟» فقال النبي ﷺ: «لأحرقه أمام عينيكِ». فقالت: «يا رسول الله، إنه ابني! لا أستطيع أن أتحمل أن يُحرق أمام عينيّ». فقال النبي ﷺ: «لكن عذاب الله أشد وأبقى يا أم علقمة. فإن أحببتِ أن يغفر الله له فاعفي عنه. والذي نفسي بيده، إن ما صلّاه من صلاة وصام من صيام وتصدّق من صدقة لا ينفعه ما دمتِ ساخطة عليه». فقالت: «يا رسول الله، أُشهد الله تعالى وملائكته وجميع المسلمين الحاضرين أني قد عفوت عن ابني علقمة». فقال النبي ﷺ: «اذهب إليه يا بلال فانظر هل يستطيع أن ينطق بشهادة الإيمان أم لا؟ فلعلها تعفو عنه حياءً». فلما اقترب بلال من بيت علقمة، سمعه يقول: «لا إله إلا الله». فأمر النبي ﷺ بتجهيزه للدفن، وغسله، وتكفينه. ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ، وَشَهِدَ الجَنَازَةَ.

They returned to the Prophet (pbuh) to consult him. Then, the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Did he have living parents?" They said, "He had an aged mother." Accordingly, the Prophet asked them to bring her if she was able to walk. Otherwise he himself will go there. When being informed by the Prophet's message, the mother said, "I sacrifice him with my soul. I will go to him." She then went to him leaning on a staff. After greeting, the Prophet (pbuh) said; "O mother of Alqamah, tell me the truth and if you lie Allah will reveal me the truth. How was Alqamah?" She said, "He performed much prayers, fasting and spending money in charity." Then, the Prophet (pbuh) asked, "What about you?" She said, "O Messenger of Allah! I am angry with him." The Prophet asked, "Why?" She said, "Because he prefers his wife to me and also disobeys me." Then, the Prophet (pbuh) said, "The anger of Alqamah's other holds Alqamah's tongue to utter the testification of Faith." Afterwards, the Prophet said, O Bilal, go and gather a pile of wood." The woman said, "Why, Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet said, “To bum him before your eyes." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, he is my son! I cannot endure that he be burnt before my eyes." Then, the Prophet said, "But Allah's torture is more severe and lasting, mother of `Alqamah. So if you like him to be forgiven by Allah, you forgive him. By Whom in Whose hands my soul is, what he performed of prayers, fasting and charity is of no avail so long as you are angry with him." Then, she said, "O Messenger of Allah, may Allah the Almighty, his angels and all Muslims who are present witness that I forgive my son, Alqamah." Thereupon, the Prophet said, "Go to him, Bilal to see whether he can utter the testification of Faith or not? She might forgive him out of shyness." Approaching Alqamah's house, Bilal heard him saying, "There is no god but Allah" Then, the Prophet (pbuh) ordered them to prepare the funeral, washing and shroud. Then, he prayed over him and witnessed the funeral.

ثُمَّ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَمَامَ قَبْرِ الْمَيِّتِ فَقَالَ: «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ، مَنْ فَضَّلَ زَوْجَتَهُ عَلَى أُمِّهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ، وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ، وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ».

Then, the Prophet stood in front of the deceased grave and said, "O Muhajirin (Emigrants) O Ansar (Helpers), he who prefers his wife to his mother entails the curse of Allah, His angels and the whole people.

لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ مِنْهُ عَمَلًا وَلَا عُذْرًا حَتَّى يَتُوبَ، وَيُحْسِنَ إِلَى أُمِّهِ، وَيَسْتَأْذِنَهَا، وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ رِضَا اللهِ مُقَيَّدٌ بِرِضَا الْأُمِّ، وَسَخَطَهُ فِي سَخَطِهَا.1

Allah never accepts his deeds or a reason unless he makes repentance, treats his mother well and asks her consent. This is because Allah's consent is conditioned on the mother's and His wrath is hers.”1
