عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: جاء رجل إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: يا رسول الله، مَنْ أحقُّ الناس بِحُسن صَحَابَتِي؟ قال: «أمك» قال: ثم مَنْ ؟ قال: «أمك»، قال: ثم مَنْ؟ قال: «أمك»، قال: ثم مَنْ؟ قال: «أبوك». متفق عليه. وفي رواية: يا رسول الله، مَنْ أحقُّ بحُسْنِ الصُّحْبَةِ؟ قال: «أمك، ثم أمك، ثم أمك، ثم أباك، ثم أدْنَاك أدْنَاك».
Kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira -Radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake- Amesema: Alikuja mtu mmoja kwa Mtume -Rehema na Amani ziwe juu yake- akasema: Ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu, ni nani mwenye haki zaidi ya kumfanyia wema wa karibu? akasema: "mama yako", akasema: kisha nani? akasema: "kisha mama yako" akasema: kisha nani? akasema: "kisha mama yako", akasema: kisha nani? akasema: "kisha baba yako",Hadithi Muttafaqun a'laihi. Na katika riwaya: Ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu, ni nani mwenye haki zaidi ya kumfanyia wema wa karibu? akasema: "mama yako, kisha mama yako kisha mama yako, kisha baba yako, kisha anayefuata kwa ukaribu kisha nayemfuata kwa ukaribu".
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, who is the most entitled among people to my good companionship?" He said: "Your mother." The man said: "Who next?" He said: "Your mother." The man asked again: "Who next?" He replied: "Your mother." The man further said: "Who next?" He said: "Your father." In another narration, the man asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who is the most entitled among people to my good companionship?" He said: "Your mother, then your mother, then your mother, then your father, and then those who are the closest to you."
