قَالَ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ لَهُ وَالِدَانِ مُسْلِمَانِ يُصْبِحُ إِلَيْهِمَا مُحْتَسِبًا، إِلَّا فَتَحَ لَهُ اللَّهُ بَابَيْنِ –يَعْنِي مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ؛ وَإِنْ كَانَ وَاحِدًا فَوَاحِدٌ. وَإِنْ أَغْضَبَ أَحَدَهُمَا لَمْ يَرْضَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى يَرْضَى عَنْهُ. قِيلَ: وَإِنْ ظَلَمَاهُ؟ قَالَ: وَإِنْ ظَلَمَاهُ.
