The Prophet said:
«رَغِمَ أَنْفُ،
ثُمَّ رَغِمَ أَنْفُ ثُمَّ رَغِمَ أَنْفُ رَجُلٍ أَدْرَكَ أَحَدَ أَبَوَيْهِ أَوْ
(كِلَيْهِمَا) عِنْدَ الْكِبَرِ وَلَمْ يَدْخُلِ الْجَنَّة»
(He is doomed, he is doomed, he is doomed, the man whose parents, one or both
of them, reach old age while he is alive and he does not enter Paradise.) This
version is Sahih although no one recorded it other than Muslim.
Another Hadith
Imam Ahmad recorded Mu`awiyah bin Jahimah As-Salami saying that Jahimah came
to the Prophet and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I want to go out to fight and I
have come to seek your advice.'' He said,
«فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ
أُم»
(Do you have a mother) He said, "Yes.'' The Prophet said,
«فَالْزَمْهَا
فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهَا»
(Then stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet.) Similar incidents were
also recorded by others. This was recorded by An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah.
Another Hadith
Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-Miqdam bin Ma`dikarib said that the Prophet said:
«إِنَّ اللهَ
يُوصِيكُمْ بِآبَائِكُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ يُوصِيكُمْ بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ
يُوصِيكُمْ بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ يُوصِيكُمْ بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ
يُوصِيكُمْ بِالْأَقْرَبِ فَالْأَقْرَب»
(Allah enjoins you concerning your fathers, Allah enjoins you concerning your
mothers, Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers, Allah enjoins you concerning
your mothers, Allah enjoins you concerning your close relatives then the next in
closeness.) This was recorded by Ibn Majah from the Hadith of `Abdullah bin
`Ayyash.
Another Hadith
Ahmad recorded that a man from Banu Yarbu` said: "I came to the Prophet while
he was talking to the people, and I heard him saying,
«يَدُ الْمُعْطِي
الْعُلْيَا، أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ، وَأُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ، ثُمَّ أَدْنَاكَ
أَدْنَاك»
(The hand of the one who gives is superior. (Give to) your mother and your
father, your sister and your brother, then the closest and next closest.)''
[رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ
بِمَا فِى نُفُوسِكُمْ إِن تَكُونُواْ صَـلِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لِلاٌّوَّابِينَ
غَفُوراً ]
(25. Your Lord knows best what is in your souls. If you are righteous, then,
verily, He is Ever Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him in repentance.)
