Excellence in doing Good to the Friends of Parents and other Relatives
و عَنْ أَبِي أُسَيد- بضم الهمزة وفتح السين- مَالِكِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ السَّاعِدِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ قَالَ: بَيْنَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ بَقِيَ مِنْ بِرِّ أبوي شيء أَبَرُّهُمَا بِهِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِمَا؟ فقال: نَعَمِ، الصَّلاَةُ عَلَيْهِمَا، وَالاِسْتِغْفَارُ لَهُمَا، وَإِنْفَاذُ عَهْدِهِمَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمَا، وَصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ الَّتِي لاَ تُوصَلُ إِلاَّ بِهِمَا، وَإِكْرَامُ صَدِيقِهِمَا ((رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد)).
Abu Usaid Malik bin Rabi'ah As-Sa'idi (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were sitting with Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when a man of Banu Salamah came to him and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Is there any obedience to parents left that I can show to them after their death?" He (ﷺ) replied, "Yes, to pray for them, to supplicate for their forgiveness, to fulfill their promises after their death, to maintain the ties of kinship which cannot be maintained except through them, and honour their friends." [Abu Dawud].
