Forty Ahadith on Parents

  1. Acts without Benefits  ==========================

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللٌّهُ(ص): يُقَالُ لِلْعَاقِّ إِعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنِّي لاَ أَغْفِرُ لَكَ وَ يُقَالُ لِلْبَارِّ إِعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنِّي سَأَغْفِرُ لَكَ.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) has said: “One who has been disowned by his parents is told: ‘Act as you please, for I shall not forgive you.’  Whereas one who is good towards his parents is told, ‘Act as you please.  I will be forgiving towards you.’”
