The Grandeur and Excellence of a Father
He responded, "I do have another pearl of this kind, but it will cost you double the price." Consequently, they bought that pearl from him for 60 mules' worth of gold.[1]
From this incident, along with learning the lesson of serving one's father, we also learn that a small amount of wealth with blessings is better than a large amount of unlawful wealth that is devoid of blessings.
The son served his father, and Allah Almighty blessed him with treasures from the unseen.
صَلُّوا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب! صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers! This incident contains a lesson for both parents and children.
Parents often say that they must leave a lot behind for their children, "I am earning for my children, I need to build a house for my children, build a factory, set up a workshop, establish a shop, set up a business, buy a plot of land." They make all these plans for their children, but give no consideration as to whether they are earning lawful or unlawful, what kind of upbringing they are giving their children, or what they are teaching their children? How much attention is given to their children's education? How much have they taught their children about Islamic teachings and proper etiquette and manners.
Remember, a person who leaves wealth for their children but does not give them a proper upbringing—if the children misuse that wealth for unlawful deeds, the consequences will fall upon him.
It is narrated about Sayyidunā ꜤUmar b. ꜤAbd al-ꜤAzīz رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ that when he was about to leave this world, he had very little wealth.
