BEING GOOD TO PARENTS AND
ENJOINING FAMILY TIES
A person who is dutiful and good to his parents should know that no matter how good he is to them he can never repay or thank them (for their rights and privileges).
A man said to 'Abdullāh Ibn 'Umar (radiyaAllāhu'anhuma):
"I carried my mother on my back all the way from Khorasan until I made her complete the rites of Hajj. Do you think I have repaid her?' He said, 'No, not even for one contraction!"
