1899. 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The Lord's pleasure is in the parent's pleasure, and the Lord's anger is in the parent's anger." (Hasan)
(Another chain) from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, and it is similar, but he did not narrate it in Marfū' form, and this is more correct.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This is how Shu'bah's companions reported it from Shu'bah; from Ya'lā bin 'Aṭā', from his father, from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr in Mawūf form. We do not know of anyone who narrated it as Marfū' other than Khālid bin Al-Hārith (a narrator in the chain), from Shu'bah. Khālid bin Al-Hārith is trustworthy and reliable. I heard Muḥammad bin Al-Muthanna saying: "I did not see the likes of Khālid bin Al-Hārith in Al-Baṣrah, nor the likes of 'Abdullāh bin Idrīs in Al-Kūfah." [He said:] There is something on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd.

Commentary
Anyone who seeks to please his Supreme Lord i.e., Allāh, let him keep his parents pleased with him, since striving to secure the happiness and pleasure of one's parents is a precondition for achieving the pleasure of Allāh. By the same token, earning the displeasure of parents means earning the displeasure of Allāh.
