And We have enjoined on man doing of good to his parents; with trouble did his mother bear him and with trouble did she bring him forth; and the bearing of him and the weaning of him was thirty months; until when he attains his maturity and reaches forty years, he says: My Lord! grant me that I may give thanks for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do good which pleases Thee and do good to me in respect of my offspring; surely I turn to Thee, and surely I am of those who submit.
آدمى را به نيكى كردن با پدر و مادر خود سفارش كرديم. مادرش بار او را به دشوارى برداشت و به دشوارى بر زمين نهاد. و مدت حمل تا از شير بازگرفتنش سى ماه است تا چون به سن جوانى رسد و به چهل سالگى درآيد، گويد: اى پروردگار من، به من بياموز تا شكر نعمتى كه بر من و بر پدر و مادرم ارزانى داشته‌اى به جاى آرم. كارى شايسته بكنم كه تو از آن خشنود شوى و فرزندان مرا به صلاح آور. من به تو بازگشتم و از تسليم‌شدگانم.
