Question:
What is the authenticity of this hadith: It is narrated from Anas ibn Malik that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What is the authenticity of this hadith? May Allah bless your knowledge and benefit us through you? The hadith appears in *Naseehat al-Muslimin*, on page three hundred and sixty-three.
Answer:
I do not know the status of this hadith, nor do I know about its authenticity, but the meaning is correct. Indeed, making du'a for one's parents, seeking forgiveness for them, and giving charity on their behalf are all part of being dutiful to them after their death. Perhaps Allah will alleviate for him, through this, what has passed of undutifulness, provided there is sincere repentance. So if he was undutiful to them, he must repent to Allah, feel remorse for what he did, abandon that behavior, and increase in repentance, seeking forgiveness, and making du'a for them with mercy, pardon, and forgiveness, along with increasing in charity on their behalf. All of this is what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has prescribed for a child regarding his parents. It is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that a man asked him, saying: "Is there any part of dutifulness to my parents remaining by which I can be dutiful to them after their death?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 5142Da'if (Al-Albani).
All of this is part of being dutiful to them after their death. And means: seeking forgiveness and making du'a. , meaning: making du'a for them. And from that is the funeral prayer.
And; seeking forgiveness, making du'a for them for forgiveness. And means: their wills. If they left a will for something that does not contradict the Shari'ah, being dutiful to them includes executing the will that conforms to the Shari'ah.
And, [meaning] the friends of his parents; he honors them, treats them well, and respects the rights of friendship between them and his parents. All of this is part of being dutiful to his parents. If the friend is poor, he consoles him; if he is not poor, he contacts him to greet him and ask about his condition, maintaining the friendship that existed between him and his parents, provided that this friend is not one who deserves to be boycotted.
Likewise,Sunan Ibn Majah 3664Hasan (Darussalam), such as being kind to his maternal uncles, paternal uncles, and relatives on the father's side and the mother's side, besides the uncles and aunts. All of this is part of being dutiful to the parents. Yes.

What is the authenticity of this hadith: It is narrated from Anas ibn Malik that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Indeed, a servant may die, and his parents or one of them may have been treated by him with undutifulness, yet he continues to make du'a for them and seek forgiveness for them until Allah records him as one who was dutiful.
