We have enjoined man to be kind to his parents. In pain did his mother bear him and in pain did she give birth to him. The carrying of the child to his weaning is a period of thirty months. And when he is grown to full maturity and reaches the age of forty, he prays: “My Lord, dispose me that I may give thanks for the bounty that You have bestowed upon me and my parents, and dispose me that I may do righteous deeds that would please You, and also make my descendants righteous. I repent to You, and I am one of those who surrender themselves to You.”
われは，両親に対し優しくするよう人間に命じた。母は懐胎に苦しみ，その分娩に苦しむ。懐胎してから離乳させるまで30ヶ月かかる。それからかれが十分な力を備える年配に達し，それから40歳にもなると，「主よ，わたしと両親に対して，あなたが御恵み下された恩恵に感謝させて下さい。またあなたの御喜びにあずかるよう，わたしが，善行に勤しむようにして下さい。また子孫も，幸福にして下さい。わたしは悔悟してあなたの御許に帰ります。本当にわたしは，服従，帰依する者です。」と言うようになる。
