KINDNESS TO ONE'S PARENTS EVEN IF THEY ARE HOSTILE H 318 "A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, my relatives are such that I have associated with them but they sever I am kind to them but they ill-treat me, I am patient but they are rude.' He replied: 'If it is as you have said, you are feeding them hot ash as long as you continue and you will always have Allah to help you against them.'" R 318 Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that a man said to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, this.
