1885. ENJOINMENT OF BEING GOOD TO ONE'S PARENTS [EVEN] AFTER THEIR DEATH

6750.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله - لَمّا سُئلَ عن بِرِّ الوالِدَينِ بَعدَ مَوتِهِما - : نَعَم ، الصَّلاةُ عَلَيهِما ، والاستِغفارُ لَهُما ، وإنفاذُ عَهدِهِما مِن بَعدِهِما ، وصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ الّتي لا تُوصَلُ إلّا بِهِما ، وإكرامُ صَديقِهِما .¹

6750. The Prophet (SAWA), when asked about being good to one's parents after their death, said, 'Yes, [it entails] praying for them, seeking forgiveness for them, fulfilling their promises after them, maintaining kinship that is not done other than through them, and honouring their friends.' ²

6751.الإمامُ الباقرُ عليه السلام : إنّ العَبدَ لَيكونُ بارّاً بِوالِدَيهِ في حياتِهِما ، ثُمّ يَموتانِ فلا يَقضي عَنهُما دُيونَهُما ولا يَستَغفِرُ لَهُما فيَكتُبُهُ اللَّهُ عاقّاً . وإنّهُ لَيكونُ عاقّاً لَهُما في حياتِهِما غَيرَ بارٍّ بِهِما ، فإذا ماتا قَضى‏ دَينَهُما واستَغفَرَ لَهُما فيَكتُبُهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّوجلَّ بارّاً .³

6751.Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, 'A man could be obedient to his parents during their lifetime, then they die and he does not repay their debts or ask Allah to forgive them, so Allah records him down as being insolent. Or, he could have been insolent to them during their lifetime and not obedient, but after their death he repays their debts and seeks forgiveness from Allah for them, Allah records him down as righteous.' ⁴

(وَقَضَى‏ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَاناً إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُلْ لَهُمَا أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُلْ لَهُمَا قَوْلاً كَرِيماً * وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُلْ رَبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيراً) .¹

"Your Lord has decreed that you shall not worship anyone except Him, and [He has enjoined] kindness to parents. Should they reach old age at your side - one of them or both -do not say to them, 'Fie'. And do not chide them, but speak to them noble words. Lower the wing of humility to them, out of mercy, and say, 'My Lord! Have mercy on them, just as they reared me when I was [a] small child'." ²
