1906. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “A son could not do enough for his father, unless he found him as a slave and purchased him to set him free.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan, we do not know of it except through the narration of Suhail bin Abī Ṣāliḥ. Sufyān Ath-Thawrī and others reported this Ḥadīth from Suhail bin Abī Ṣāliḥ.
١٩٠٦ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَجْزِي وَلَدٌ وَالِدًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَجِدَهُ مَمْلُوكًا» فَيَشْتَرِيَهُ فَيُعْتِقَهُ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، وَقَدْ رَوَى سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ.

Securing the freedom of the father from bondage by a son, although an extremely virtuous deed, is in practical terms a rare occurrence. As such, it is next to impossible that a person can fully acquit himself from obligations towards his father through his various acts of dutifulness. The same is true of the mother.
