The Words of Allah Almighty: "We have instructed man to 
honour his parents." (29:8) 

Hadith no #(1) Abu 'Amr ash-Shaybani said, "The owner of this house (and he pointed at the house of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud Raji.) said, "I asked the Prophet which action Allah loves best. He replied, 'Prayer at its proper time.' 'Then what?' I asked. He 
ﷺ said, 'Then kindness to parents." I asked, 'Then what?' He replied, 'Then jihad in the Way of Allah.'" He added, "He told me about these things. If I had asked him to tell me more, he would have told me more." 

Hadith no #(2)

, to whom should I be dutiful?' 'Your mother,' he replied. I asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. I asked, 'Then whom?' Your mother,' he replied. I asked, 'Then whom?' Your mother,' he replied. I asked, 'Then to whom 
should I be dutiful?' Your father,' he replied, 'and then the next closest relative and then the next.'"

Hadith no #(4) Ata' ibn Yasar Raji. said that a man came to Ibn Abbas Raji. and said, "I asked a woman to marry me and she refused to marry me. Another man asked her and she agreed to marry him. I became jealous and killed her. Is there any way for me to repent?" He asked, "Is your mother alive?" "No," he replied. He said, "repent to Allah Almighty and try to draw near Him as much as you can." Ata' said, "I went to Ibn Abbas and asked him, 'Why did you ask him whether his mother was alive?' He replied, 'I do not know of any action better for bringing a person near to Allah than dutifulness to his mother.'"

 was asked, 'Messenger of Allah, to whom should I be dutiful?' Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' He replied, Your father.'" 

Hadith no #(6) Abu Hurayra Raji. reported: "A man came to the Prophet of Allah 
 and asked, 'What do you command me to do?' He replied, 'Be dutiful towards your mother.' Then he asked him the same question again and he replied, 'Be dutiful towards your mother.' He repeated it yet again and the Prophet  replied, 'Be dutiful towards your mother.' He repeated the question a fourth time and the reply was, 'Be dutiful towards your mother.' Then he put the question a fifth time and the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Be dutiful towards your father.'" 

4. Dutifulness to Parents, even if they are unjust

Hadith no #(7) Ibn Abbas Raji. said, "If any Muslim obeys Allah regarding his parents, Allah will open two gates of the Garden for him. If there is only one parent, then one gate will be opened.

5. Gentle words to Parents 

Hadith no #(8) Taysala ibn Mayyas said, "I was with the Najadites [Kharijites] when I committed wrong actions which I supposed were major wrong actions. I mentioned that to Ibn 'Umar Raji.. He inquired, 'What are they?" I replied, 'Such-and-such.' He stated, 'These are not major wrong actions. There are nine major wrong actions. They are: associating others with Allah, killing someone, desertion from the army when it is advancing, slandering a chaste woman, usury, consuming an orphan's property, heresy in the mosque, scoffing, and causing one's parents to weep through disobedience.' Ibn 'Umar Raji. then said to me, 'Do you wish to separate yourself from the Fire? Do you want to enter the Fire?' 'By Allah, yes!' I replied. He asked, 'Are your parents still alive?' I replied, 'My mother is.' He said, 'By Allah, if you speak gently to her and feed her, then you will enter the Garden as long as you avoid the major wrong actions.'"

If her mount is frightened, I am not frightened.' Then he asked, 'Ibn 'Umar Raji.? Do you think that I have repaid her?' He replied, 'No, not even for a single groan.' "Ibn 'Umar did tawaf and came to the Maqam and prayed two rak 'ats. He said, 'Ibn Abi Musa, every two rak 'ats make up for everything that has happened between them.'"

" (17:23-24) He said, "This was abrogated in Surat at-Tawba: 'It is not right for the Prophet and those who have iman to ask forgiveness for the mushrikun even if they are close relatives after it has become clear to them that they are the Companions of the Blazing Fire.

"One day his mother came while he was praying and called out, 'Jurayj !' He asked himself, 'My mother or my prayer?' He concluded that he should prefer the prayer.

"Then the village woman was brought before the king after she had given birth to a child. He asked, 'Whose is it?' 'Jurayj 's,' she replied. He asked, 'The man in the hermitage?' 'Yes,' she answered. He ordered, 'Destroy his hermitage and bring him to me.' They hacked at his hermitage with axes until it collapsed. They bound his hand to his neck with a rope and took him along to the king. When he passed by the beautiful women, he saw them and smiled. They were looking at him along with the people. "The king asked, 'Do you know what this woman claims?' 'What does she claim?' he asked. He replied, 'She claims that you are the father of her child.' He asked her, 'Where is the child?' They replied, 'It is in her room.' He went to the child and said, 'Who is your father?' 'The cowherd,' he replied. The king said, 'Shall we build your hermitage out of gold?' 'No,' he replied. He asked, 'Of silver?' 'No,' he replied. The king asked, 'What shall we build it with?'
