وَ قَضى‏ رَبُّكَ أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُوا إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ وَ بِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَاناً إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلاَهُمَا فَلاَ تَقُلْ لَهُمَا أُفٍّ وَ لاَ تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَ قُلْ لَهُمَا قَوْلاً كَرِيـماً

“And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve (any) but Him, and that you shall show goodness to your parents. *** If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them (so much as)*** “Ugh” nor chide them, and speak to them a generous word.
Noble Qur’an, Surat Bani Isra’il (17) Verse 23
