3657. It was narrated that Abu Salamah As-Sulâmi said that the Prophet ﷺ said: "I enjoin each one to honor his mother, I enjoin each one to honor his mother, I enjoin each one to honor his mother (three times), I enjoin each one to honor his father, I enjoin each one to honor his guardian who is taking care of him, even if he is causing him some annoyance." (Hasan)
3657 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَامَةَ السَّلَامِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أُوصِي امْرَأً بِأُمِّهِ، أُوصِي امْرَأً بِأُمِّهِ، أُوصِي امْرَأً بِأُمِّهِ - ثَلَاثًا - أُوصِي امْرَأً بِأَبِيهِ، أُوصِي امْرَأً بِمَوْلَاهُ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ أَذًى يُؤْذِيهِ»

In Arabic the word Mawla has many meanings such as master, freed slave, friend, relative, cousin (son of paternal uncle), ally, supporter, etc. So, here we chose an expression (guardian) that covers all the above relations. The Arabic word Yaleehi means meeting and approaching; the relation of a master and his slave is very deep and strong which continues in another form even after being freed. Blood relations also cannot be severed. Neighbors, friends, classmates, colleagues, employees and employers, all such persons come into contact with each other constantly. So, they should cooperate with each other and should avoid causing harm.
