RESPECT FOR PARENT'S FRIENDS

342

“Abdullah the son of Omar met a Bedouin Arab when he was on the way to Mecca. Abdullah greeted him and asked if he would like to ride with him on his donkey; he also gave him the turban he was wearing. Abdullah the son of Dinar said, ‘May Allah give to you good, these Bedouin's are pleased with only a little.’ Abdullah the son of Omar said, ‘That man's father was my father's friend and I heard the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, say, 'Of the highest virtues is that a person should be kind towards his father's friends and members of their families.'"

Muslim with a chain up to Abdullah the son of Dinar said this.
