عَنِ الصّادِقِ عليه السلام قالَ:

مَن أَحَبَّ أَن يُخَفِّفَ اللّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنهُ سَكَراتِ المَوتِ فَليَكُن لِقَرابَتهِ وَصولاً وَ بِوالِدَيهِ بارًّا فَإذا كانَ كَذلك هَوَّنَ اللّه عليه سَكَراتِ المَوتِ وَلَم يُصِبهُ في حَياتِهِ فَقرٌ اَبَدًا.

Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) said: “He who wishes Allah, Almighty and Glorious, to lighten the agonies of death, he should have regard for his kinship, and treat his parents with goodness. Then, when a person does so, Allah will make the agonies of death easy for him and he will not be stricken by poverty in his life at all.”

Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) said: “He who glares at his parents with wrathful eyes, although they have been unjust to him, Allah will not accept his prayers (unless he repents).”

عَن أَبِى عَبدِالله عليه السلام قالَ: جاءَ رَجُلٌ وَ سَأَلَ النَّبِيّ صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم عَن بِرِّ الوالِدَينِ فَقالَ: اِبرِر اُمَّكَ اِبرِر اُمَّكَ اِبرِر اُمَّكَ، اِبرِر أباكَ اِبرِر أباكَ اِبرِر أباكَ، وَ بَدَأَ بِالأُمِّ قَبلَ الأبِ.
