بَابُ بِرِّ الأَقْرَبِ فَالأَقْرَبِChapter: Dutifulness to the Nearest Relatives First
Hadith 60
حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ بَحِيرٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُوصِيكُمْ بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ، ثُمَّ يُوصِيكُمْ بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ، ثُمَّ يُوصِيكُمْ بِآبَائِكُمْ، ثُمَّ يُوصِيكُمْ بِالأَقْرَبِ فَالأَقْرَبِ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma’di Karib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “Indeed, Allah commands you emphatically regarding your mothers, then He emphatically commands you to show good conduct to your mothers, then He emphatically commands you to show good conduct to your fathers, then He emphatically commands you to show good conduct to your relatives according to their ranks.”
