Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a companion came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who is most deserving of my good treatment?" He replied, "Your mother." He asked, "Then who?" He replied, "Your mother." He asked again, "Then who?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Your mother." He asked, "Then who?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Then your father."

Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a companion came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and sought permission to participate in jihad. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked him: "Are your parents alive?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Then strive in their service." (i.e., try to keep them happy)

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No one spoke in the cradle except for three children. First was Jesus (peace be upon him). (The second incident is that) there was a pious man among the Children of Israel, whose name was Jurayj. He was praying when his mother called him. He thought to himself,“Should I answer my mother or continue praying?”Upon this, his mother (angrily) supplicated,“O Allah! Do not let him die until he sees the faces of adulterous women.”Jurayj used to stay in his place of worship. Once, a prostitute came before him and wanted to commit adultery with him, but he refused her request. Then she went to a shepherd and gave herself to him. She bore a child from him and accused Jurayj, saying that the child was his. The people of his community came, destroyed his place of worship, brought him down, and insulted him. Then he performed ablution and prayed. After that, he came to the child and asked,“Who is your father?”The child (by Allah’s command) spoke and said,“The shepherd.”Upon this (his people were ashamed and) said,“We will rebuild your place of worship with gold,”but he said,“Never, let it be made of clay.”(The third incident) There was a woman from the Children of Israel who was breastfeeding her child. Nearby, a rider of great honor and fine clothing passed by. The woman prayed,“O Allah! Make my child like him.”But the child (by Allah’s command) spoke,“O Allah! Do not make me like him.”Then he returned to her breast and began to suckle. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that it is as if I am seeing the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sucking his finger (to demonstrate how the child was suckling). Then a slave girl was brought near (whom her master was beating). The woman prayed,“O Allah! Do not make my child like her.”The child stopped suckling again and said,“O Allah! Make me like her.”The woman asked,“Why are you saying this?”The child said,“That rider was one of the oppressors, and people were saying to this slave girl that you have stolen and committed adultery, although she had done nothing.”

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah Almighty created the creation, and when He finished creating it, the "rahm" (womb, kinship) stood up and took hold of the garment of the Most Merciful. Allah asked, "What is the matter?" The rahm replied, "I seek refuge with You from being cut off (from kinship ties)." Allah Almighty said to it, "Are you not pleased that I will keep ties with the one who keeps ties with you, and I will cut off the one who cuts you off?" The rahm replied, "Yes, O my Lord!" Allah Almighty said, "Then so shall it be." Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you wish (for reassurance), then recite this verse: "So would you perhaps, if you turned away, cause corruption on earth and sever your ties of kinship?"

Hazrat Jubair bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The one who severs the ties of kinship will not enter Paradise."

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: Whoever wishes for abundance in his provision or for a long life should maintain the ties of kinship.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not bear malice against one another, do not envy one another, do not backbite one another, but be servants of Allah as brothers to each other. And it is not permissible for a Muslim to abandon speaking to his brother for more than three days.

Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: It is not permissible for a person to abandon meeting his brother for more than three days, such that when the two meet, this one turns his face away and that one turns his face away, and the better of the two is the one who initiates the greeting of peace (salam).

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Avoid suspicion, for suspicion is often a false statement after investigation, and do not pursue searching for others’ faults, do not probe into anyone’s faults unnecessarily, do not artificially raise prices against one another, do not envy, do not harbor malice, do not backbite, but rather, all of you should be servants of Allah and live as brothers among yourselves.

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that I have not seen anyone suffer (the pain of illness at the time of death) more than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
