Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Huraira narrates that a man came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Tell me, among the people, who is most deserving of my good conduct?" Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes! By your father, you will surely be informed: your mother is most deserving." The man asked, "Then who?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Your mother." He asked, "Then who?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Your mother!" He asked, "Then who?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Your father."
