A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Your Lord has commanded that you should worship none but Him, and that you be kind to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say no word that shows impatience with them, and do not be harsh with them, but speak to them respectfully

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

Thy Lord hath decreed, that ye worship none save Him, and (that ye show) kindness to parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age with thee, say not "Fie" unto them nor repulse them, but speak unto them a gracious word.

Rabbin, yalnız Kendisine tapmanızı ve ana babaya iyilik etmeyi buyurmuştur. Eğer ikisinden biri veya her ikisi, senin yanında iken ihtiyarlayacak olursa, onlara karşı "Öf" bile demeyesin, onları azarlamayasın. İkisine de hep tatlı söz söyleyesin.

Rabbin kesin olarak şunları emretti: Ancak kendisine ibadet edin, anne ve babaya iyilik edin. Onlardan biri veya her ikisi senin yanında yaşlanırsa, sakın onlara "öf" bile deme ve onları azarlama. İkisine de tatlı ve güzel söz söyle.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

وأَمَر ربك -أيها الإنسان- وألزم وأوجب أن يفرد سبحانه وتعالى وحده بالعبادة، وأمر بالإحسان إلى الأب والأم، وبخاصة حالةُ الشيخوخة، فلا تضجر ولا تستثقل شيئًا تراه من أحدهما أو منهما، ولا تسمعهما قولا سيئًا، حتى ولا التأفيف الذي هو أدنى مراتب القول السيئ، ولا يصدر منك إليهما فعل قبيح، ولكن ارفق بهما، وقل لهما -دائما- قولا لينًا لطيفًا.
