KINDNESS TO ONE'S PARENT'S FRIENDS H H 343 "Abdullah the son of Omar was traveling to Mecca and became tired riding his camel; so he wound a turban around his head and rode his donkey instead. As he was riding he met a Bedouin Arab and asked him: 'Aren't you so and so, the son of so and so?' The man said: 'Yes, indeed.' Thereupon Abdullah gave him the donkey and said: 'Ride it' and he gave him his turban saying: 'Wind it around your head.' Some of his companions said to him: 'May Allah forgive you, you have given this Bedouin your easy riding donkey and the turban you wound round your head.' He said: 'I heard the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, say: 'Of the highest virtue is that a person should be kind to the members of a family who had been the friends of one's father before his death.'" R 343 Muslim with a chain up to the son of Dinar narrates the story of Abdullah the son of Omar
342- وفي رواية عن ابن دينار ، عن ابن عمر : أنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَى مَكّةَ كَانَ لَهُ حِمَارٌ يَتَرَوَّحُ عَلَيهِ إِذَا مَلَّ رُكُوبَ الرَّاحِلةِ ، وَعِمَامَةٌ يَشُدُّ بِهَا رَأسَهُ ، فَبيْنَا هُوَ يَوماً عَلَى ذلِكَ الحِمَارِ إِذْ مَرَّ بِهِ أعْرابيٌّ ، فَقَالَ : ألَسْتَ فُلاَنَ بْنَ فُلاَن ؟ قَالَ : بَلَى . فَأعْطَاهُ الحِمَارَ ، فَقَالَ : ارْكَبْ هَذَا ، وَأعْطَاهُ العِمَامَةَ وَقالَ : اشْدُدْ بِهَا رَأسَكَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ بعضُ أصْحَابِهِ : غَفَرَ الله لَكَ أعْطَيْتَ هَذَا الأعْرَابيَّ حِمَاراً كُنْتَ تَرَوَّحُ عَلَيهِ ، وعِمَامةً كُنْتَ تَشُدُّ بِهَا رَأسَكَ ؟ فَقَالَ : إنِّي سَمِعتُ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، يَقُولُ : "إنَّ مِنْ أبَرِّ البِرِّ أنْ يَصِلَ الرَّجُلُ أهْلَ وُدِّ أبيهِ بَعْدَ أنْ يُولِّيَ" وَإنَّ أبَاهُ كَانَ صَديقاً لعُمَرَ رضي الله عنه . رَوَى هذِهِ الرواياتِ كُلَّهَا مسلم .
