Honoring Parents...A Gateway to Paradise(in Islam) توقير الوالدين....باب إلى الجنة
The eminent Tabi'i, Muhammad ibn Sirin, would speak to his mother as if pleading. Ibn 'Awf said: A man entered upon Muhammad ibn Sirin while he was with his mother and asked, "What's wrong with Muhammad? Is he ill?" They replied, "No, but this is how he is when he is with his mother."
Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir said: "My brother 'Umar spent the night praying, while I spent the night massaging my mother's feet. I wouldn't trade my night for his."
This is Muhammad ibn Bashar, famously known as Bundar, the Imam, the Hafiz, the narrator of Islam, the compiler of the hadith of Basra. He used to say: "I wanted to go out—meaning, to travel in pursuit of knowledge—but my mother forbade me, so I obeyed her, and I was blessed for it."
Talq ibn Habib would not walk on the roof of a house while his mother was underneath it, out of reverence and respect for her.
'Amir ibn 'Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr said: "When my father, 'Abdullah, died, I asked nothing of God for a whole year except forgiveness for him." And this is Ibn 'Awn, whose mother called him, and he answered her, but his voice rose above hers, so he freed two slaves, believing it to be expiation for what he had done.
And Iyas ibn Mu'awiyah wept bitterly when his mother died, and when asked about it, he said: "I had two open doors to Paradise, and one of them has been closed."
And this is Imam Abu Hanifah, whose mother used to instruct him to take her to the circle of 'Umar ibn Dharr so she could ask him about what was unclear to her, even though her son was the leading jurist of his time. And he would take her, may God have mercy on him.
