عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِيكَرِبَ الْكِنْدِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُوصِيكُمْ بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُوصِيكُمْ بِآبَائِكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُوصِيكُمْ بِالْأَقْرَبِ فَالْأَقْرَبِ
Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma’dikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty commands you to treat your mothers well; indeed, Allah Almighty commands you to treat your fathers well; indeed, Allah Almighty commands you to treat your closest relatives and then those who are next closest with kindness.
