The answer

A Hadith with this wording has not been found, and it contradicts the Hadiths: "There is no obedience in disobedience to Allah," and "There is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator." It also contradicts the Hadith: "Whoever seeks the pleasure of Allah through the displeasure of people, Allah will be pleased with him and will make people pleased with him. And whoever seeks the pleasure of people through the displeasure of Allah, Allah will be displeased with him and will make people displeased with him." As for the Hadith: "The Lord's pleasure is in the parents' pleasure, and the Lord's displeasure is in the parents' displeasure," it is understood to apply to situations where there is no forbidden act involved.
