Respect Due to Parents

Abu Ghassan al-Dhabbi went out walking in front of his father in al-Madina and Abu Hurayrah caught up with him and asked him, “Who is that man walking behind you?” He said, “My father.”

Abu Hurayrah said, “You have failed to implement the truth and contradicted the Sunnah. Do not walk in front of your father, only behind him or to his right, do not let anyone separate between you and him (while walking) and do not walk on a roof and your father is under it. Do not take a bone that has meet on it, which your father looked at, perhaps he might have wanted it. Do not look straight at your father, do not sit until he sits and do not sleep until he goes to sleep.”

Then he said, “Do you know ‘Abdullah b. Khadash?” I said, “No.” He said,” I heard the Messenger of Allah say,’ His thigh is in the Hellfire like Uhud and his molar tooth is like oal-Bayda [a large mountain].’ Abu Hurayrah said, ‘Why is this, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said, ‘He was undutiful to his parents.’
