DISOBEDIENCE TO ONE’S MOTHER

1831

“Mughirah the son of Shu'bah dictated a letter to me (Warrad) addressed to Mu'awiah in which it said that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, used to supplicate at the end of each obligatory prayer, ‘There is no god except Allah, who is One and has no associate. His is the Kingdom and His is the praise and He has power to do all that He wills. O Allah, none can prevent what You give and none can give what You withhold. Lineage does not avail against You.’

His letter continued to tell that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, forbade idle talk, waste of wealth and persistent asking. He also forbade disobedience to mothers, burying of live female babies, the prevention of giving, and persistent taking.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Warrad, the scribe of Mughirah, who related this.
