وَعَنْهُ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَحَقُّ النَّاسِ بِحُسْنِ صَحَابَتِي؟ قَالَ: " أُمُّكَ" قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ: " أُمُّكَ" قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ: "أُمُّكَ" قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ: " أبوك" ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ)). وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: يارسول اللَّهِ مَنْ أَحَقُّ بِحُسْنِ الصُّحْبَةِ؟ قَالَ: " أُمُّكَ، ثُمَّ أُمُّكَ، ثُمَّ أُمُّكَ، ثُمَّ أباك، ثم أدناك أدناك".
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A person came to Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and asked, "Who among people is most deserving of my fine treatment?" He (ﷺ) said, "Your mother". He again asked, ''Who next?" "Your mother", the Prophet (ﷺ) replied again. He asked, "Who next?" He (the Prophet (ﷺ)) said again, "Your mother." He again asked, "Then who?" Thereupon he (ﷺ) said," Then your father." In another narration: "O Messenger of Allah! Who is most deserving of my fine treatment?" He (ﷺ) said, "Your mother, then your mother, then your mother, then your father, then your nearest, then nearest". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
