Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “If a man treats his parents kindly when they are alive, but does not ask God to forgive them when they die, he will be disowned by his parents. If a man is disowned by his parents while they are living, but often asks God for their forgiveness after they die, he will be considered as a good-doer.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
إن الرجل يكون بارا بوالديه وهما حيان، فإذا ماتا ولم يستغفر لهما كتب عاقا لهما، وإن الرجل يكون عاقا لهما في حياتهما، فإذا ماتا وأكثر الاستغفار لهما فكتب بارا.
