Chapter: Dutifulness to Parents After Their Death
Al-Adab al-Mufrad 35 — Dutifulness to Parents After Their Death
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْغَسِيلِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَيْدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أُسَيْدٍ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَلْ بَقِيَ مِنْ بِرِّ أَبَوَيَّ شَيْءٌ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِمَا أَبَرُّهُمَا؟ قَالَ: ”نَعَمْ، خِصَالٌ أَرْبَعٌ: الدُّعَاءُ لَهُمَا، وَالِاسْتِغْفَارُ لَهُمَا، وَإِنْفَاذُ عَهْدِهِمَا، وَإِكْرَامُ صَدِيقِهِمَا، وَصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ الَّتِي لاَ رَحِمَ لَكَ إِلاَّ مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا.“
Abu Usaid (Sayyiduna Malik bin Rabi’ah) رضي الله عنه, while narrating to his people, said: We were with the Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم one day when a man said: O Messenger of Allah! Is there anything left by which I can show kindness to my parents after their death? The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Yes! There are four things: praying for them, seeking forgiveness for them, fulfilling their bequests, honoring and respecting their friends, and maintaining the ties of kinship that are connected only through the parents.”
