Imaam Ibn Hajar Al-‘Asqalaani – rahimahullaah – said:

It is reported from Al-Mughirah Ibn shu’bah radiyallaahu anhu – who said: The Messenger of Allah – salallaahu alayhi wasallam – said:”Allah has made it Haraam(proscribed) for you to show lack of respect(disobedience) to your mothers, to bury your daughters alive, to refuse others their rights and dues, and to require things from others which are not worth demanding, and He hates that you engage in gossiping, and He also denounced asking many questions about people’s affairs and wasting wealth.” Agreed upon.

Transmitted and recorded by Imaam Bukhaari in his ”Sahih”#1478 and Imaam Muslim in his ” Sahih ” #593.

COMMENTARY

The hadith shows the importance of the following:

1. It is Haraam to disobey and to show lack of respect to parent. This act is classified among the kabaa’ir(major sins) by consensus of the ulamaa and many Hadith also point to that.

2.The hadith is not only warning against disobeying mothers, but it is also applicable to fathers. However, mothers have a greater right to be considered in that regard than fathers. And that is why they were mentioned here in the Hadith.

3.It shows that we should appreciate and show gratitude on what Allah has bestowed upon us among our children ( I.e whether male or female).

4.It also indicates that it is Haraam to take the soul of any person unless what is permitted in the shariah.

5.It is disliked to refuse others their rights and to demand what does not accords to you.

6.It discourages mismanagement of resources and spending outside the limit of the deen.

7.It is abhorrent to engage in gossiping or discussing about other people’s affairs for no tangible reason.

Allaahu A’alam!

Baarakallaahu feekum!
