question #3 Sahih al-Bukhari 527, Book 9, Hadith 6 : What is the significance of being dutiful to one’s parents in Islamic teachings?

I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) “Which deed is the dearest to Allah?” He replied, “To offer the prayers at their
early stated fixed times.” I asked, “What is the next (in goodness)?” He replied, “To be good and
dutiful to your parents” I again asked, “What is the next (in goodness)?” He replied, ‘To participate in
Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah’s cause.” `Abdullah added, “I asked only that much and if I had
asked more, the Prophet (ﷺ) would have told me more.”
