Dua for Parents in hadith
There is a daif hadith mentioned in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 7, Ibn ‘Abbas said, “If any Muslim obeys Allah regarding his parents, Allah will open two gates of the Garden for him. If there is only one parent, then one gate will be opened. If one of them is angry, then Allah will not be pleased with him until that parent is pleased with him.” He was asked, “Even if they wrong him?” “Even if they wrong him” he replied.
So it is very important that we remain dutiful to our parents and keep making dua for them.
