Kindness to Parents

 The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) said:

" The pleasure of Allah lies in the pleasure of one's parents (in the case that it is right), and His wrath lies in their wrath."

Mustadrak-ul-Wasa'il-ush-Shi`ah, vol. 15, p. 176

 Imam Sadiq (a.s) said:

" Do treat kindly your parents so that your children do the same to you; and be pious unto the wives of people so that your wives remain pious."

Al-Kafi, vol. 5, p. 554

 Imam Sadiq (a.s) said:

" Once a person came to the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and asked him about good treatment to parents. Then, he (p.b.u.h.) said ` Treat kindly your mother, treat kindly your mother, and treat kindly your mother; be kind to your father, be kind to your father, and be kind to your father but begin (that kindness) with your mother before your father'."

Al-Kafi, vol. 2, p. 162

The Rights of Children

The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) told Amir-ul Mu'mineen Ali (a.s):

" O' Ali! Allah has cursed the parents who would cause their child be disobedient of them by cursing them."

Imam Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali (a.s) said:

" The right of a child upon his father is that he should give him a nice appellation, train him well and teach him the Qur'an (with its rules)."

 The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) said:

"Honour your children and train them well, you will be forgiven by Him."
