Al-Qur’an:

“We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: in pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, “O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou hast bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam.” Such are they from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and pass by their ill deeds: (they shall be) among the Companions of the Garden: a promise of truth, which was made to them (in this life)”. (Al-Ahqaf, 46:15,16)

Hadith:

It is narrated by Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (R.A) that the Prophet (saw) said (once), “May he be humiliated . May he be humiliated. May he be humiliated!” The Companions asked him, “Messenger of Allah! Who?” He said, “He who has parents, or one of them, in their old age yet he goes to Hell (because of not serving and helping them).” (Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal)
