قَالَ وَ أَنَا عِنْدَهُ لِعَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فِي بِرِّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ بِالْوالِدَيْنِ إِحْساناً فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهَا الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ قَضى رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَ بِالْوالِدَيْنِ إِحْساناً فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدُ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ هِيَ الَّتِي فِي لُقْمَانَ وَ وَصَّيْنَا الْإِنْسانَ بِوالِدَيْهِ حُسْناً وَ إِنْ جاهَداكَ عَلى أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي ما لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلا تُطِعْهُما فَقَالَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ بِصِلَتِهِمَا وَ حَقِّهِمَا عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَ إِنْ جاهَداكَ عَلى أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي ما لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَقَالَ لَا بَلْ يَأْمُرُ بِصِلَتِهِمَا وَ إِنْ جَاهَدَاهُ عَلَى الشِّرْكِ مَا زَادَ حَقَّهُمَا إِلَّا عِظَماً .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Bahr, from Abdullah Bin Muskan, from the one who reported it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said to Abdul Wahid Al-Ansary, and I was in his<sup>asws</sup> presence, regarding the righteousness with the parents in the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:17#h23"><a href="/books/quran:17#h23">[17:23]</a></a> and the goodness to the two parents</span>, and we thought that it is a Verse which is regarding the Children of Israel <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:17#h23"><a href="/books/quran:17#h23">[17:23]</a></a> And your Lord has Decreed that you shall not worship except Him, and goodness to your parents</span>. So when it was afterwards I had asked him<sup>asws</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is that which is in (Surah) Luqman<sup>as</sup> (Chapter 29) <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:29#h8"><a href="/books/quran:29#h8">[29:8]</a></a> And We have enjoined on human being goodness to his parents, and if they contend with you that you should associate (others) with Me, of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them</span>. So he (Abdul Wahid): ‘That is greater than Him<sup>azwj</sup> Commanding with goodness with them both and their rights upon every state <span class="ibTxt">and if they contend with you that you should associate (others) with Me, of which you have no knowledge</span>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, but He<sup>azwj</sup> Commanded with being good to them both, and even if they were to contend upon the association (Shirk). It does not increase their rights except for greatness’.
