Is there a Qudsi Hadith narrated on the authority of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from his Lord, that "whoever dies dutiful to his parents but disobedient to his Lord, his Lord will meet him on the Day of Resurrection dutiful to him, and whoever dies dutiful to Allah but disobedient to his parents, his Lord will meet him on the Day of Resurrection disobedient to him"? And what is the difference between a Qudsi Hadith and the Quran, and did Gabriel (peace be upon him) inform the Prophet that this is Quran and this is a Qudsi Hadith?

A Hadith with this specific wording and attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, has not been found with a chain of transmission. However, Al-Ghazali mentioned in "Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din" that it is narrated that Allah said to Moses, peace be upon him: "O Moses: Whoever is dutiful to his parents but disobeys Me, I shall record him as dutiful. And whoever is dutiful to Me but disobeys his parents, I shall record him as disobedient." Al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi narrated with a weak chain that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If Allah knew of anything worse than 'Uff' for disobedience, He would have mentioned it. Let the dutiful person do whatever he wills, for he shall not enter the Fire. And let the disobedient person do whatever he wills, for he shall not enter Paradise." What Al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi and Al-Hakim in "Al-Tarikh" narrated are considered among the weak narrations.
