Context

It is extremely ḥarām to rebuff or turn away from one’s mother or father. Allah Honorific symbol says: “And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be good to [your] parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. And from compassion lower to them the wing of humility, and say: “Lord, bestow on them Your Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood.” [87].
