In kindness to close relatives, the Holy Prophet Muhammad’s (sa) own example was perfect. At the time of the first revelation, Hazrat Khadijah (ra) offered him solace, saying, ‘God will never destroy you. You always treat your relatives with kindness.’
A person came to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) and requested that he wished to go for Jihad but did not have the means to fulfil his wish. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) asked him if any one of his parents were alive. He replied that his mother was alive. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) said, ‘Treat your mother kindly and if you do this, it will be equivalent to you performing Hajj, Umrah and Jihad (reward equal to performing these deeds). And if your mother is happy with you, fear Allah and treat her kindly.’
The parents of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) passed away when he was still a child, but the sentiments of love and the zeal of praying for them remained in his heart. He specially went to visit his mother’s grave and remembering her, he cried so much that even his companions started to cry.
