حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَتَى رَجُلٌ نَبِيَّ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: مَا تَأْمُرُنِي؟ فَقَالَ: ”بِرَّ أُمَّكَ“، ثُمَّ عَادَ، فَقَالَ: ”بِرَّ أُمَّكَ“، ثُمَّ عَادَ الرَّابِعَةَ، فَقَالَ: ”بِرَّ أُمَّكَ“، ثُمَّ عَادَ الْخَامِسَةَ، فَقَالَ: ”بِرَّ أَبَاكَ.“
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: "What do you command me?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Show kindness to your mother." He asked the same question again. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Show kindness to your mother." He repeated the question. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Show kindness to your mother." Then he asked a fourth time, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Show kindness to your mother." He asked a fifth time, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Show kindness to your father."
