Ibnul-Qayyim
Al-Jawziyyah رحمه الله said:
And Al-Bayhaqi narrated from the
hadeeth of Anas رضي
اللّه عنـه who
said that:
'A man was sitting
with the Prophet, so one of his sons came to him, so the man kissed him and sat
him in his lap. Then his daughter came to him so he took her and sat her to his
side. So the Prophet (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) said, ‘You were not just between
them.’ And the Salaf used to like to be just between their
children when kissing them.'
And some of the people of knowledge
said that Allaah سُبحانه
وتعالى will ask the parent about
his child on the Day of Resurrection before asks the child about his parent. So just as the
father has a right upon his son, the son has a right upon his father, as Allaah
سُبحانه
وتعالى said,
وَوَصَّيْنَا
الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا
“And We have enjoined on man to be
good and dutiful to his parents..”
[Al- ‘Ankabut:8]
