Is the story of Alqamah with his mother authentic, especially since some preachers use it as proof regarding disobedience to parents, even though that is deemed unlikely in the case of Alqamah, may Allah be pleased with him?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The story mentioned by the questioner about a young man, in which there is no mention of Alqamah or his mother, is a very weak Hadith, as stated by Al-Albani. What is sufficient in place of this Hadith is what has been reported in the Quran and authentic Sunnah, warning against disobedience to parents and encouraging filial piety. Speakers who mention this story must be aware that it is extremely weak.
