Hadith on Parents: Not until our parents enter with us!

Shurjil ibn Shuf’ah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “It will be said to children on the Day of Resurrection: Enter Paradise! They will say: Our Lord, not unless our fathers and mothers enter! Allah Almighty will say: Why do I see them hesitant? Enter Paradise! They will say: O Lord, our fathers and mothers! Allah will say: Enter Paradise, all of you with your parents!

عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ شُفْعَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يُقَالُ لِلْوِلْدَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَيَقُولُونَ يَا رَبِّ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ آبَاؤُنَا وَأُمَّهَاتُنَا قَالَ فَيَأْتُونَ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَا لِي أَرَاهُمْ مُحْبَنْطِئِينَ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَيَقُولُونَ يَا رَبِّ آبَاؤُنَا وَأُمَّهَاتُنَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ
