What is the authenticity of the hadith that states: "The first thing Allah wrote in the Preserved Tablet was: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Indeed, I am Allah; there is no god but I. Whoever earns the pleasure of their parents, I am pleased with them"?
The mentioned statement was not found in the books of Hadith. However, honoring one's parents and seeking their pleasure—as long as it does not involve disobedience to Allah—is a great act of worship. Encouragement for it has been authentically narrated, such as the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "The pleasure of Allah is in the pleasure of the parents, and the displeasure of Allah is in the displeasure of the parents."
