How authentic are the Hadiths: "The displeasure of Allah is in the displeasure of the parents, and the pleasure of Allah is in the pleasure of the parents," and "The pleasure of Allah is only through the pleasure of the parents," and are there other Hadiths reported concerning the pleasure of the parents?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The first Hadith, "The pleasure of Allah is in the pleasure of the parent, and the displeasure of Allah is in the displeasure of the parent," is authentic. As for the second Hadith, we could not find a specific wording for it, but the first Hadith is sufficient. The Qur'an and Sunnah have emphasized the obligation of honoring one's parents and the prohibition of disobeying them. Many Hadiths have been narrated in this regard, including that whoever does not enter Paradise despite their parents reaching old age is a loser, and that honoring parents is among the most beloved deeds to Allah after praying on time, and also that the mother is the most deserving of good companionship three times, then the father. And among the greatest major sins are associating partners with Allah, disobeying parents, and speaking falsehood.
