Consequence of Behaviour with the Family


Imam Reza (a.s.) says, “Every man should strive to make his wife and children comfortable according to his capacity for if he is strict and unkind to them and because their rights are being deprived they will desire his death.”ref

When Saad ibne Maaz, the great companion of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) expired, he (s.a.w.s.) himself participated in the funeral procession and shouldered his bier quite a few times with considerable respect. Then he laid it in the grave and buried him with his own hands. On seeing the zeal of the Prophet (s.a.), the mother of Saad cried, “Congratulations, O my son on gaining paradise.” On hearing this the Messenger of Islam retorted, “Wait, do not make haste in divine affairs. Your son is in great agony and anguish at the moment.” When the people inquired about the reason for this condition he (s.a.), replied, “He behaved very badly with his family members.”ref
