Abu Ghassan al-Dabbi said: I was walking along with my father over the stony ground (al-Harrah) when Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) met me. He asked me: "Who is this?" I replied: "This is my father." He said: "Do not walk ahead of your father; rather, walk behind him or at his side. Do not let anyone come between you and him. Do not walk upon a raised place (a rooftop) while your father is beneath it. And do not eat a meaty bone that your father has looked at; perhaps he desired it." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: This report will come in full in the chapter on disobedience to parents.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. I do not know the narrator Abu Ghassan, nor Abu Ghanm who narrates from him. The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
