Chapter: Disobedience to parents is a major sin

«عن المغيرة بن شعبة، قال: قال النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم:إن الله حرم عليكم عقوق الامهات، وواد البنات، ومنعا وهات، وكره لكم قيل ثلاثا وقال، وكثرة السؤال، وإضاعة المال.»

Hadrat Mughira ibn Shu’ba (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that he said: The Prophet ﷺ said: Indeed Allah has forbidden you the disobedience to mothers, burying daughters alive, stinginess, and begging without need. And He has disliked three things for you: idle argument and debate, excessive questioning, and wasting wealth.

«عن أبى بكر رضى الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: الا انبئكم باكبر الكبائر؟ قلنا: بلى يا رسول الله قال: الإشراك بالله وعقوق الوالدين وكان متكئا فجلس، فقال: الا وقول الزور وشهادة الزور، الا وقول الزور وشهادة الزور فما زال يقولها حتى قلت: لا يسكت.»

Hadrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Shall I not inform you of the three major sins? We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah, (please do tell us). He ﷺ said: Associating partners with Allah, and disobedience to parents. He ﷺ was reclining, then sat up straight, and said: Beware! False speech and false testimony. Beware! False speech and false testimony. He kept repeating this until I (thought in my heart): he will not stop.

«عن انس بن مالك رضي الله عنه، قال: ذكر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الكبائر او سئل عن الكبائر فقال: الشرك بالله وقتل النفس وعقوق الوالدين، فقال: الا انبئكم باكبر الكبائر؟ قال: قول الزور او قال شهادة الزور قال شعبة: واكثر ظني انه قال: شهادة الزور.»

Hadrat Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the major sins, or was asked about the major sins, and he ﷺ said: Associating partners with Allah, killing a soul (unjustly), and disobedience to parents. He ﷺ said: Shall I not tell you about the greatest of the major sins? He said: False speech, or he said: giving false testimony. Shu’ba (may Allah be pleased with him) said: My strongest presumption is that he ﷺ said: “false testimony.”

«عن بن عمر قال : قال رسول الله : ثلاثة لا ينظر الله عزوجل إليهم يوم القيامة: العاق لوالديه، والمرأة المترجلة، والديوث، وثلاثة لا يدخلون الجنة : العاق لوالديه، والمدمن على الخمر والمنان بما أعطى.»

Hadrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There are three people whom Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will not look at (with mercy) on the Day of Resurrection: one who disobeys his parents, a woman who adopts a masculine appearance, and a dayyuth (one without jealousy). And there are three who will not enter Paradise: one who disobeys his parents, a person who is constantly immersed in drinking wine, and one who reminds others of his favours (after giving).

«عن عبد الله بن انيس الجهني، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: إن من اكبر الكبائر: الشرك بالله، وعقوق الوالدين، واليمين الغموس، وما حلف حالف بالله يمين صبرا فادخل فيها مثل جناح بعوضة إلا جعله نكتة فى قلبه إلى يوم القيامة.»

Hadrat Abdullah ibn Unays al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Among the major sins, the greatest is associating partners with Allah, disobedience to parents, and the false oath (al-yamin al-ghamus). If someone swears by Allah’s name in an oath of perjury (i.e., swearing to persist in a lie), Allah places in his heart a spot the size of a mosquito’s wing, which remains until the Day of Resurrection.
