Chapter: The invocation of the person who is dutiful to his parents is fulfilled
Sahih al-Bukhari 5974
Narrated Ibn Umar:
Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, “While three persons were traveling, they were overtaken by rain and they took shelter in a cave in a mountain. A big rock fell from the mountain over the mouth of the cave and blocked it. They said to each other, ‘Think of such good (righteous) deeds which you did for Allah’s sake only, and invoke Allah by giving reference to those deeds so that Allah may relieve you from your difficulty.’
One of them said, ‘O Allah! I had my parents who were very old, and I had small children for whose sake I used to work as a shepherd. When I returned to them at night and milked (the sheep), I used to start giving the milk to my parents first before giving to my children. And one day I went far away in search of a grazing place (for my sheep), and didn’t return home till late at night and found that my parents had slept. I milked (my livestock) as usual and brought the milk vessel and stood at their heads. I disliked to wake them up from their sleep, and I also disliked to give the milk to my children before my parents though my children were crying (from hunger) at my feet. So this state of mine and theirs continued till the day dawned. O Allah! If you considered that I had done that only for seeking Your pleasure, then please let there be an opening through which we can see the sky.’ So Allah made for them an opening through which they could see the sky.
Then the second person said, ‘O Allah! I had a she-cousin whom I loved as much as a passionate man loves a woman. I tried to seduce her but she refused until I paid her one hundred dinars. So I worked hard till I collected one hundred dinars and went to her with that. But when I sat between her legs (to have sexual intercourse with her), she said, “O Allah’s slave! Be afraid of Allah! Do not deflower me except legally (by marriage contract).” So I left her. O Allah! If you considered that I had done that only for seeking Your pleasure, then please let the rock move a little to have a wider opening.’ So Allah shifted that rock to make the opening wider for them.
And the last (third) person said, ‘O Allah! I employed a laborer for wages equal to a faraq (a certain measure) of rice, and when he had finished his job he demanded his wages, but when I presented his due to him, he gave it up and refused to take it. Then I kept on sowing that rice for him (several times) till I managed to buy with the price of the yield some cows and their shepherd. Later on, the laborer came to me and said, “O Allah’s slave! Be afraid of Allah, and do not be unjust to me, and give me my due.” I said to him, “Go and take those cows and their shepherd.” So he took them and went away. O Allah! If You considered that I had done that for seeking Your pleasure, then please remove the remaining part of the rock.’ And so Allah released them (from their difficulty).”

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Allah has forbidden you (1) to be undutiful to your mothers, (2) to withhold (what you should give), or (3) demand (what you do not deserve), and (4) to bury your daughters alive. And Allah has disliked that (A) you talk too much about others, (B) ask too many questions (in religion), or (C) waste your property.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 5976
Narrated Abu Bakra:
Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said thrice, “Shall I not inform you of the biggest of the great sins?” We said, “Yes, O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him).” He said, “To join partners in worship with Allah; to be undutiful to one’s parents.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) sat up after he had been reclining and added, “And I warn you against giving a forged statement and a false witness; I warn you against giving a forged statement and a false witness.” The Prophet kept on saying that warning till we thought that he would not stop.

Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) mentioned the greatest sins or he was asked about the greatest sins. He said, “To join partners in worship with Allah; to kill a soul which Allah has forbidden to kill; and to be undutiful or unkind to one’s parents.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) added, “Shall I inform you of the biggest of the great sins?

Abu Bakr and Umar were among the people but out of respect did not speak to him about the unfinished prayer. The hasty ones left, wondering whether the prayer had been shortened. Among the people was a man whom the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to call Dhul-Yadain (the long-armed). He asked, “O Prophet of Allah, have you forgotten, or has the prayer been shortened?” The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, “I have neither forgotten nor has it been shortened.” The people said, “Indeed, you have forgotten, O Messenger of Allah!” The Prophet (peace be upon him) then said, “Dhul-Yadain has spoken the truth.” So he stood up, offered the remaining two rak‘at, and ended the prayer with Taslim. Then he said the Takbir, performed a prostration of a normal or longer duration, raised his head saying Takbir, and then made another similar prostration and raised his head with Takbir, completing the two prostrations of forgetfulness (sahu).
