2089. It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahmân that a man's father or mother – Shu'bah (one of the narrators) was not sure – ordered him to divorce his wife, and he made a vow that he would free one hundred slaves if he did that. He came to Abu Dardâ' while he was praying the Duha, and he was making his prayer lengthy, and he prayed between Zuhr and 'Asr. Then he asked him, and Abu Dardâ' said: "Fulfill your vow and honor your parents." Abu Ad-Dardâ' said: "I
heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: '(Honoring) one's father may lead one to enter through the best of the gates of Paradise; so take care of your parents, (it is so, whether you take care of them) or not." (Hasan)

Commentary
a. Service and obedience to parents is a means to enter Paradise.
b. If the parents command the child to do something which is Islamically permissible, it should be done even though the heart dislikes it. The parents, in the same way, should also care for the rights, needs and demands of the children.
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
