"The right of your Mother"

"The right of your Mother, is that you acknowledge that she has carried you in her womb in a manner that nobody has carried the other. She fed you from the fruit of her heart in a way that nobody has fed the other.
She safe-guarded and preserved you with (extreme) pleasure with her ears, eyes, hands, feet, hair, skin and all the parts of her body with joy and felicity, bearing in it all the odd pains, agonies, discomforts and burdens till such time the hand of God detached and expelled you from her to the earth.
Then she remained hungry and fed you, she dressed you remaining herself nude, quenched your thirst while she was thirsty, and put you in the shade while she remained under the sun.
She brought you up with extreme blandishment and delicacy while she herself remained in hardship, and made you enjoy sweet sleep while she remained awake.
Her womb was a container (utensil) for you, and her lap was a soothing and a comforting place for you.
Her breasts were a means of quenching your thirst. Her existence was a shield for protecting you.
She endured the hot and cold (thick and thin) of the world for your sake.
Therefore, you must also thank her at the same scale and standard. You do not have the capability and the power of doing it except with the aid and help of God and his success and grace."
