Narrated Ibn 'Abbas mentioned the words of the Almighty, "When one or both
of them reach old age with you, do not say 'Ugh!' to them out of irritation
and do not be harsh with them but speak to them with gentleness and generosity.
Take them under your wing, out of mercy, with due humility and say:
'Lord,
show mercy to them as they did in looking after me when I was small."
(17:23-24) He said, "This was abrogated in Surat at-Tawba: 'It
is not right for the Prophet and those who have iman to ask forgiveness for
the mushrikun even if they are close relatives after it has become clear
to them that they are the Companions of the Blazing Fire.' (9:113)"
"Four ayats were revealed about me. The first
was when my mother swore she would neither eat nor drink until I left Muhammad,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Allah Almighty revealed, 'But
if they try to make you associate something with Me about which you have
no knowledge, do not obey them. Keep company with them correctly and courteously
in this world' (31:15) The second was when I took a sword that
I admired and said, 'Messenger of Allah, give me this!' Then the ayat
was revealed: 'They will ask you about booty.' (8:1) The third was
when I was ill and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, came to me and I said, 'Messenger of Allah, I want to divide my
property. Can I will away a half?' He said, 'No.' 'A third?' I asked. He
was silent and so after that it was allowed to will away a third. The fourth
was when I had been drinking wine with some of the Ansar. One of them hit
my nose with the jawbone of a camel. I went to the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and Allah Almighty revealed the prohibition of wine."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "May his nose be dusted (i.e. may he be disgraced), may his nose be dusted, may his nose be dusted." They said, "Messenger of Allah, who?" He said, "The one who lives to see his parents or one of them in old age, and (still) enters the Fire."
