Question:

Assalamu alaikum,here is what I have found in a book: "The Prophet (as) said that when an obedient child looks with love at his parents he gets the reward equal to that of going on pilgrimage."Is this hadith sahih, and where can I find it? Who has conveyed it?Wa jazakumullahu khairan.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Al-Haakim reported this Hadeeth in his Taareekh, Ad-Daylami as related by Ibn ‘Abbaas and As-Suyooti in his Al-Jaami‘ Al-Kabeer. The Hadeeth is weak as its chain of narrators includes Nahshal ibn Sa‘eed whom Is-haaq ibn Rahawayh declared a liar. Ath-Thahabi said about it: “Weak.” Ibn Hajar said: “It is to be neglected as its chain of narrators includes Al-Hasan ibn Haaroon who is unknown.”

Al-Albaani declared it fabricated in his revision of Al-Mishkaat. Also, Al-Fattani said in his Tadhkirat Al-Mawdhoo‘aat: “Its chain of narrators includes a man named Nahshal and he is a liar.”

Allaah Knows best.
