(اُنظر) البقرة : 83 ومريم : 14 ، 32 ولقمان : 14 والأحقاف : 15

“Your Lord has decreed that you shall not worship anyone except Him, and [He has enjoined] kindness to parents. Should they reach old age at your side - one of them or both -do not say to them, 'Fie'. And do not chide them, but speak to them noble words. Lower the wing of humility to them, out of mercy, and say, 'My Lord! Have mercy on them, just as they reared me when I was [a] small child'.” 2

6743. رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله - لَمّا سُئلَ عَن حقِّ الوالِدَينِ على‏ وَلَدِهِما : هُما جَنَّتُكَ ونارُكَ3

6744. al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib: 'The Prophet (SAWA), when Ibn Masud asked him about the most beloved of acts to Allah Almighty, said, 'Prayer at its pescribed time.' I asked, 'Then what?' He said, 'Being good to one's parents.'6

1885. ENJOINMENT OF BEING GOOD TO ONE'S PARENTS [EVEN] AFTER THEIR DEATH

6750. رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله - لَمّا سُئلَ عن بِرِّ الوالِدَينِ بَعدَ مَوتِهِما - : نَعَم ، الصَّلاةُ عَلَيهِما ، والاستِغفارُ لَهُما ، وإنفاذُ عَهدِهِما مِن بَعدِهِما ، وصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ الّتي لا تُوصَلُ إلّا بِهِما ، وإكرامُ صَديقِهِما1

6750. The Prophet (SAWA), when asked about being good to one's parents after their death, said, 'Yes, [it entails] praying for them, seeking forgiveness for them, fulfilling their promises after them, maintaining kinship that is not done other than through them, and honouring their friends.'2

6751. الإمامُ الباقرُ عليه السلام : إنّ العَبدَ لَيكونُ بارّاً بِوالِدَيهِ في حياتِهِما ، ثُمّ يَموتانِ فلا يَقضي عَنهُما دُيونَهُما ولا يَستَغفِرُ لَهُما فيَكتُبُهُ اللَّهُ عاقّاً وإنّهُ لَيكونُ عاقّاً لَهُما في حياتِهِما غَيرَ بارٍّ بِهِما ، فإذا ماتا قَضى‏ دَينَهُما واستَغفَرَ لَهُما فيَكتُبُهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّوجلَّ بارّاً3

6751. Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, 'A man could be obedient to his parents during their lifetime, then they die and he does not repay their debts or ask Allah to forgive them, so Allah records him down as being insolent. Or, he could have been insolent to them during their lifetime and not obedient, but after their death he repays their debts and seeks forgiveness from Allah for them, Allah records him down as righteous.'4

( يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنْ تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلاً)1

“O you who have faith! Obey Allah and obey the Apostle and those vested with authority among you. And if you dispute concerning anything, refer it to Allah and the Apostle, if you have faith in Allah and the Last Day. That is better and more favourable in outcome.” 2

6777. كمال الدين عن جابرٍ الجُعفيِّ : سمعتُ جابرَ بنَ عبدِ اللَّهِ الأنصاريّ يقول : لَمّا أنزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّوجلَّ على‏ نَبيِّهِ محمّدٍ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : (أطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وأطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ واُولي الأمْرِ مِنْكُم) قلتُ : يا رسولَ اللَّهِ ، عَرَفْنا اللَّهَ ورَسولَهُ ، فمَن اُولو الأمرِ الّذينَ قَرَنَ اللَّهُ طاعَتَهُم بطاعَتِكَ ؟

فقالَ عليه السلام : هُم خُلَفائي ياجابِرُ ، وأئمَّةُ المُسلِمينَ مِن بَعدي ، أوَّلُهُم عليُّ بنُ أبي طالِبٍ ، ثُمَّ الحَسَنُ ، و الحُسَينُ ، ثمّ عليّ بن الحسين ، ثمّ محمّد بن عليّ المعروف في التوراة بالباقر . ثمّ الصّادق جعفر بن محمّد ، ثمّ عليّ بن موسى ، ثمّ موسى بن جعفر ، ثمّ محمّد بن علي ، ثمّ عليّ بن محمّد ، ثمّ الحسن بن عليّ ، ثمّ سمييّ وكنيي حجّة اللَّه في أرضه وبقيّته في عباده ابن الحسن بن عليّ...3

6777. Jabir b. Abdullah al-Ansari said, 'When Allah revealed the verse:“Obey Allah and obey the Apostle and those vested with authority among you...” onto His Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we know Allah and His Messenger, but who are those vested with authority that Allah has associated their obedience with your obedience?' He (SAWA) said, 'O Jabir, they are my successors and the leaders of the Muslims after me. The first of them is Ali b. Abu Talib, then Hasan, then Husayn, then Ali b. al-Husayn then Muhammad b, Ali that is known in Torah as al-Baqir then al-Sadiq, Ja'far b. Muhammad then Musa b.Ja'far then Ali b.

6780. Imam Ali (AS), censuring his companions said, 'Verily by He who owns my soul, this group will take control of you, not because they are more rightful than you, but because of their hastening to the wrongfulness of their leader and your slowness at upholding my right.'8
