The Book of Asceticism · Hadith 90 (#Ḥadīth #2)

النضر وفضالة عن عبد الله بن سنان عن حفص عن محمد بن مسلم عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: إن العبد ليكون بارا بوالديه في حياتهما ثم يموتان فلا يقضى عنهما الدين ولا يستغفر لهما فيكتبه الله عاقا وانه ليكون في حياتهما غير بار لهما فإذا ماتا قضى عنهما الدين واستغفر لهما فيكتبه الله تبارك وتعالى بارا قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: وان أحببت أن يزيد الله في عمرك فسر أبويك قال: سمعته يقول: إن البر يزيد في الزرق

2.Al-Naḍr and Faḍālah narrated from ʿAbdullāh ibn Sinān, from Ḥafṣ, from Muḥammad ibn Muslim, from Abū Jaʿfar who said, “Verily a servant may be kind to his parents in their lifetime, then they pass away and he does not repay their debts, nor does he pray for their forgiveness, so Allah writes him among those who were undutiful. Likewise, he may not have been kind towards them in their lifetime but when they pass away, he repays their debts and seeks forgiveness for them, so Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, writes him among the dutiful.” Abū ʿAbdillāh said, “And if you would like Allah to increase your lifespan then please your parents.” He (the narrator) said, “I heard him say, ‘Indeed being kind [and dutiful to parents] increases one’s sustenance.’”
