It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! With whom should I show good conduct?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "With your mother." I said, "Then with whom?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "With your mother." I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Then with whom?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "With your mother." I said, "Then with whom?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "With your father, and then with whoever is closer after that."
