He was asked once why does he never eat with his mother, on what he answered: „ I feel afraid to take something what the eyes of my mother already saw and what she wish to take for herselfe, so if I eat with her, I would be careless toward her“ ) Al Ahbar, 3/97)

MashAllah thank you for the reminder

It is never emphasized enough the topic of obedience and love for our parents.

Sometimes we think we have the right to scoff them because we feel they are not religious or they don't act how we wish they would. We forget the example of Prophet Ibrahim (ra) whose father was an idol maker yet he would always approach him with kindness and invite him to Islam.

This Ayah is also talks about parents:

"And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as] 'uff' [i.e., an expression of irritation or disapproval] and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say: 'My Lord! Have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small.'" [Quran 17:23-24]
