There is a famous narration of a sahabi (radiyallahu’anhu) who was unable to recite the shahadah at the time of death because he was disobedient to his mother. Is this authentic?
Answer:
Disobedience of parents is a proven serious sin.
However, this incident is unauthentic, and should not be quoted.
It has been recorded with 2 very weak chains. Both the chains have narrators that are are suspected liars in hadith. (Tabarani & Tambihul Ghafilin, pg.191)
