Description Birr al-Walidayn is a short treatise on the subject of being dutiful to parents which was published recently for the first time. This treatise is significant because Imam Bukhari appears to be the first person to pen a treatise specifically on this subject. It comprises 75 Hadiths which are transmitted under various chapter headings focused on two broad themes: being dutiful to parents and maintaining family ties. This English translation is accompanied by succinct and insightful commentary from Mufti Yusuf Shabbir, in addition to appendices for featuring the narrations transmitted by Imam Bukhari on the same topic in his Sahih and Al-Adab al-Mufrad, chains of transmission and biographies of the narrators.
