A Bangladeshi Mother With Her Child
Once a companion (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (sallallaahu-alaihi-wasallam) as to whom he should show more kindness. The Prophet (sallallaahu-alaihi-wasallam) replied: "Your mother." He (may Allah be pleased with him) asked who comes next and the Prophet (sallallaahu-alaihi-wasallam) again replied: "Your mother." He (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (sallallaahu-alaihi-wasallam) yet again who comes next. The Prophet (sallallaahu-alaihi-wasallam) replied: “Your mother." When the companion asked for the fourth time, only then did the Prophet (sallallaahu-alaihi-wasallam) reply: "Your father."
