IMPORTANCE OF YOUR MOTHER

316

“A man asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, of all people who is the most entitled to kindness and good company from me?’ He replied, ‘Your mother.’ The man asked again, ‘And after her?’ He replied, ‘Your mother.’ ‘And after her?’ He replied, ‘Your mother.’ ‘Then after her?’ He asked, ‘Your father.’”

We are also informed; "A man asked: ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, who is best entitled to good company from me?’ He answered, ‘Your mother, and then your mother, and then your mother, then your father, your near relations, and your near relations.’”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that a man came to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and asked this.
