adab:94

Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah has called them the 'dutiful' (al-Abrar) because they are dutiful (birr) to their parents and children. Just as you have a duty which you owe your parent, so you have a duty which you owe your child."  

الأدب المفرد:٩٤حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَخْلَدٍ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْوَصَّافِيِّ عَنْ مُحَارِبِ بْنِ دِثَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

إِنَّمَا سَمَّاهُمُ اللَّهُ أَبْرَارًا لأَنَّهُمْ بَرُّوا الْآبَاءَ وَالأَبْنَاءَ كَمَا أَنَّ لِوَالِدِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا كَذَلِكَ لِوَلَدِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقٌّ
