Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked: "Who is most deserving of my good treatment?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your mother." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this twice. The man asked: "Then who?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your father." Sufyan says: The scholars hold the opinion that two-thirds of good treatment is for the mother, and one-third is for the father.
