اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَنْ أَبَرُّ ؟ قَالَ : أُمَّكَ ، ثُمَّ أُمَّكَ ، ثُمَّ أُمَّكَ ، ثُمَّ أَبَاكَ ، ثُمَّ الْأَقْرَبَ فَالْأَقْرَبَ ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا يَسْأَلُ رَجُلٌ مَوْلَاهُ مِنْ فَضْلٍ هُوَ عِنْدَهُ ، فَيَمْنَعُهُ إِيَّاهُ إِلَّا دُعِيَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَضْلُهُ الَّذِي مَنَعَهُ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ " , قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : الْأَقْرَعُ : الَّذِي ذَهَبَ شَعْرُ رَأْسِهِ مِنَ السُّمِّ .
Bahz bin Hakim on his father's authority said that his grandfather said: I said: Messenger of Allah! to whom should I show kindness? He replied: Your mother, next your mother, next your mother, and then comes your father, and then your relatives in order of relationship. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If a man asks his slave whom he freed for giving him property which is surplus with him and he refuses to give it to him, the surplus property which he refused to give will be called on the Day of resurrection as a large bald snake. Abu Dawud said: Aqra means a snake whose hair of the head were removed on account of poison.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
The Shari‘ah has declared the rights of the mother to be threefold,
and the rights of the father to be one-fourth, yet has described him as the best gate to Paradise (for entry).
See:
(Musnad Ahmad: 196/5 and 445/6,
448,
451).
The relationship between a slave and his master remains even after emancipation;
this is called the relationship of wala.
And upon being freed, it becomes obligatory for the freed person to continue to show kindness to the one who freed him as much as possible.
➋
From this, it is also clear that a believer should never forget anyone’s favor.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Urdu marginal note:
"He will chew." This can also mean: "On the Day of Resurrection, a bald snake will be summoned which will chew its owner, and this snake will be that surplus wealth of his which he did not give when asked." Apparently, this meaning seems more appropriate, but the words do not support it; therefore, the apparent meaning has been written in the text.

Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، الأدب، باب في بر الوالدين، حديث:5139، والترمذي، البر والصلة، حديث:1897.»©Explanation:
➊ This hadith shows that the status of the mother is greater than that of the father.
➋ Due to the hardships and pains that the mother endures because of the child, there is a greater emphasis on showing good conduct towards the mother.
A woman is weak and of delicate nature.
When children grow up, they are very rarely under the control and authority of the mother.
The mother is often undervalued.
The Shari‘ah has emphasized good conduct towards the mother with such intensity and has made the children realize that they should provide the mother with as much comfort and ease as possible in every possible way.
Her command should be obeyed and accepted without objection, provided that she does not command anything contrary to the Shari‘ah.
