The Material Effects of Āq
The previous traditions mention the ill effects of ‘Ä€q al-Walidayn’ in the hereafter. The following traditions describe the evil repercussions of Ä€q al-Walidayn in this life.
The last of the Prophets (S) says:
“There are Three kinds of sins which are punished in this world, rather than being given respite till QiyÄma. The first is Ä€q al-Walidayn. The second, injustice upon men and third, thanklessness for favour.”
Hazrat Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.) stated,
“Secret charity cools down Divine anger while goodness to parents and benevolence to relatives, prolongs life.”
(BihÄr al-AnwÄr).
Another tradition says,
“Benevolence to parents and secret charity, ward off poverty, and both (these deeds) prolong life. Seventy types of death are kept away.”
(BihÄr al-AnwÄr)
“Those who assure me that they will be benevolent to parents and do good to the relatives, I will give them excess of wealth and a long life and assure them of being close among our group.”
(Mustadrak ul-Wasa’il)
Hazrat Imam Naqi (a.s.) said,
“The displeasing of parents causes decrease in sustenance and degradation (also follows).”
