Kindness towards a polytheist mother

Al Hakam Weekly14th August 2026

عَنْ أَسْمَاء، قَالَتْ قَدِمَتْ أُمِّي وَهْىَ مُشْرِكَةٌ فِي عَهْدِ قُرَيْشٍ وَمُدَّتِهِمْ، إِذْ عَاهَدُوا النَّبِيَّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم مَعَ أَبِيهَا، فَاسْتَفْتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أُمِّي قَدِمَتْ وَهْىَ رَاغِبَةٌ ‏{‏أَفَأَصِلُهَا‏}‏ قَالَ: نَعَمْ صِلِي أُمَّكِ‏‏.‏

Hazrat Asma (ra) narrated: 

“My mother, who was a polytheist, came to me accompanied by her father during the truce agreed between the Quraysh and the Prophet (sa). I sought the Prophet’s (sa) ruling and said, ‘My mother has come of her own accord. Should I maintain ties with her?’ The Prophet (sa) replied, ‘Yes. Show kindness to your mother.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-adab, Bab silati l-mar’ati ummaha wa laha zawj, Hadith 5979)
