The wisdom of repeating the mention of the mother in the hadith on dutifulness

Question:
May Allah reward you. We conclude this episode with his other question. He says: What is the wisdom behind the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, “Your mother, then your mother, then your mother, then your father”?

Answer:
Yes, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said this to the one who asked, “Who is most deserving of my good conduct?” He said, “Your mother,” and he repeated it three times. In the fourth instance, he said, “Then your father.” The mother’s right is more emphasized for the child than the father’s right, because she carried him, nursed him, raised him, and toiled for him. So her right is greater than the father’s right, even though the father has a great right over his child. But the mother has a greater right and a more emphasized right. Yes.
