RIGHTS OF PARENTS - PART 3

Sayyidna Ibn Abbas RAA narrated that Rasool Allah ﷺ said, "Two gates of paradise shall remain open for the person who remained obedient to his parents for the sake of Allah. And two gates of hell shall remain open for one who disobeyed them. And one gate (of paradise or hell shall remain open), if he had just one of the two, either father or mother." Someone asked, "Would it (the warning of hell)  still apply if the parents had been unjust to this person?" Rasool Allah SAW said three times, "وَ اِن ظَلَمَا وَ اِن ظَلَمَا وَ اِن ظَلَمَا." which means that the warning of Hell against disobeying and hurting  parents still applies even if the parents were unjust tot he child. (It means that children have no right to take revenge from their parents. Even if the parents had been unjust to them, it does not give the children the right to disobey  them or not to serve them.)
