Sayyiduna Saabit Bunaani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه has said: At some place a person was beating his father. People reproached him: O the unfortunate person! What are you doing? Upon this the father said: Leave him because I would also beat my father here at the same place, therefore, my son is also beating me at the very same place. It is the return for the same; do not reprove him. (Tanbih-ul-Ghafileen, pp. 69)

It is said: Being sick of his old father a young man went to throw him into the river. The father said: O son! Throw me at a little more distance into deep water. The son said: Why should I not throw you here in the corner and why should I throw you there in the deep water? The father replied: Because here I threw my father. Having heard this, the son trembled with fear and thought that it would also happen to him one day. He took his father to his home and started looking after him. (Jaysi karni Waysi Bharni, pp. 90)
