حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق نَحْوَهُ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " وَيَعْرِفْ حَقَّ كَبِيرِنَا " .
A similar hadith is narrated from Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As through this chain as well, but in it there is «ويعرف حق كبيرنا» instead of «ويعرف شرف كبيرنا».
´Amr bin Shu'aib narrated that his father, from his grandfather, who said that the Messenger of Allah said:` 'He is not one of us who does not have mercy upon our young, nor knows the honor of our elders."
