A Mother Has Three & Father, One
Question :
Why did Allah Almighty favor the mother over the father, in that Allah's Messenger ﷺ specified a right to her three times, and the father only once?
Answer:
It is confimred in the Sahih that Abu Hurairah reported that a man once came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Who has the most right upon me for my good company?" He ﷺ said :
"Your mother."
"Then who?"
"Your mother,"
"Then who?" , The Prophet ﷺ again answered:
"Your mother,"
The man asked for a fourth time, "Then who?" This time he answered:
"Your father."
This Hadith illustrates the great right a mother has, a right that is even greater than a father's; three times greater. The mother is given three rights for her patience, for the hardship she underwent during pregnancy, delivery, and of raising and training her children. These are things the father doesn't have to go through, but even still, he is given one right for spending on the children, for training them, for providing them with education, and so on. And Allâh Almighty knows best.
