What Obedience to Parents Actually Entails
An excerpt from the book "The Major Sins" by Muhammad bin 'Uthman Adh-Dhahabi:
K'ab al-Ahbar was asked about the meaning of "disrespect to parents," to which he replied: " If the father or mother assigns him a task, he does not do it; if they order him to do something, he does not obey them; if they ask him for something, he does not give it to them; and if they entrust him with a thing, he cheats them in it."
