Hadith Explanation Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Father.

Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) reported that
a person came to the Messenger of Allah (sal
Allahu alaihi wa sallam) and asked: “Who
among people is the most deserving of my fine
treatment?” He (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam)
replied: “Your mother.” He then asked, “Who
next?” The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa
sallam) replied: “Your mother.” He asked
again: “Who next?” He (sal Allahu alaihi wa
sallam) said again, “Your mother.” He again
asked, “Then who?” He (sal Allahu alaihi wa
sallam) said: “Your father.” [Sahih Bukhari]
Once a man came to the Prophet (sal Allahu
alaihi wa sallam) and said that his mother
was very ill-tempered. The Prophet (sal Allahu
alaihi wa sallam) did not exempt the man
from giving good companionship to his
mother and treating her well. In fact, he (sal
Allahu alaihi wa sallam) got angry at the man
and asked whether his mother had also been
bad-tempered when she had been carrying
him, when she was suffering labour pains to
give birth to him and when she had been
nursing him. In other words, because of the
troubles she had borne for his sake, treating
her kindly was now incumbent on him,
regardless of whether he enjoyed serving her
or not.
We must remember that Allah (subhana wa
ta’ala) is As-Sami (the All-Hearing). We say
“Sami Allahu li man hamida” at least
seventeen times a day, if we pray only the
Fardh salat. This is to remind us that Allah
hears everything. Nothing escapes him. We
treat our parents well in obedience to Allah’s
commands and He is aware of every word we
speak to them, every single thing we do for
them and every sacrifice we make for them --
even when the parents are not aware of it.
Thus, to earn His pleasure and the Jannat
that He (subhana wa ta’ala) has prepared for
His dutiful servants, we will worry about our
duties and responsibilities towards others and
not our rights. Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) is
sufficient to take care of our rights.
