Narrated by Mu'awiyah ibn Hayadah I asked: ‘O Messenger of Allah(peace be upon him)To whom should I show kindness most?’

He (peace be upon him)replied: ‘Your mother.’ I asked (again): ‘Who next?’. He (peace be upon him)replied: ‘Your mother!’. I asked: ‘Who next?’ He (peace be upon him)replied: ‘Your mother!’ I asked again: ‘Who next?’ and he (peace be upon him)replied: ‘Your father, and then your relatives in order of relationship.’
