ذِكْرُ اسْتِحْبَابِ بِرِّ الْمَرْءِ وَالِدَهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مُشْرِكًا فِيمَا لَا يَكُونُ فِيهِ سَخَطُ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by Abdullah Ibn Ubayy Ibn Salul, who was sitting under the shade of a date palm tree. He said, "Ibn Abi Kabsha has surpassed us." His son, Abdullah Ibn Abdullah, swore by Allah, who honored and revealed the Book to you, saying, "If you want, I will bring you his head." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "No, but instead, be kind to your father and treat him well."  

ابن حبّان:٤٢٨أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي شَبِيبُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ وَهُوَ فِي ظِلِّ أَجَمَةٍ فقَالَ قَدْ غَبَّرَ عَلَيْنَا ابْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ فقَالَ ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ وَالَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ لَئِنْ شِئْتَ لَآتِيَنَّكَ بِرَأْسِهِ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا وَلَكِنْ بِرَّ أَبَاكَ وَأَحْسِنْ صُحْبَتَهُ»
