Is there some mention in narrations that disobedience to parents being among the most major of sins?
Answer:
Yes, this has been authentically reported in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) asked, “Should I not inform you of the most major sins?’ The Sahabah (radiyallahu ‘anhum) replied, ‘Most certainly O Rasulullah.’ Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘Ascribing partners to Allah and disobedience to parents…’”
Some versions suggest that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) repeated the question thrice.
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 2654, 5976, 6273, 6919 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 87)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
