Mother's day - STRADA PLACIDO

Salaamaleykum.
Well..everyday is mother's day...we should love our mother everyday...especially since the Heaven is at her feet.
I recall one story my auntie told me when i was just 4 or 5 yrs old.(amazing right?..i still remember it)
Well..the story goes...about this young man who lived alone with his mother.At one point he became a severe chronic gambler.One day..when his money ran out, he asked his mom for money...she,naturally, refused to give him even a cent for gambling.So it happens that he begun to attack his aged mother.The mother ran out of the house...and the son took out a dragger and threw it to the mother.The dragger penetrates the mother's heel.At the very moment the mother cried out of pain, the earth begun to shake.A huge crack opened up on the earth...the ungrateful son fell into that crack...and the earth closed back right after.
Lesson? -dont be a gambler and throw dagger at your mom's feet..
...
NO NO!!!..it goes beyond that!...Love your mother,
like a hadith that i remember reading...(I forgot the source, and i cant find the exact narration,sorry) but it goes something like this...

Rasulullah s.a.w. once mentioned that a mother's love is priceless.Saying that she carried us in her womb for 9long months, and carried us until we can walk and even after that she take care of us, feed us and worry for us until we're grown up.So one of the Companians asked the Prophet s.a.w., 'what if i carried my mother on my back ...and feed her and take care of her every needs until the day she dies. Can i be considered to be eqaul to my mother?' At this Muhammad s.a.w. said 'No, because she nutured you waiting for the day you can live your own life, while you will nuture her, waiting for her to die'

Here's a song by Ahmed Bukhateer, a dedication to all the mothers out there.

لسوف أعود يا أمي

لسوف أعود يا أمي
أقبّل رأسك الزاكي
أبتّك كل أشواقي
وأرشف عطر يمناك
أمرغ في ثرى قدميك
خدي حين ألقاك
أوري الترب من دمعي
سرورا في محياك
فكم أسهرت من ليل
لأرقد ملأ أجفاني
وكم أظمأت من جوف
لترويني بتحناني
ويوم مرضت لا أنسى
دموعا منك كالمطر
وعينا منك ساهرة
تخاف علي من خطر
ويوم وداعنا فجرا
وما أقساه من فجر
يحار القول في وصف الذي
لاقيت من هجري
وقلت مقولة لا زلــت
مدّكرا بها دهري
محال أن ترى صدرا
أحن عليك من صدري
ببرك يا منى عمري
إله الكون أوصاني
رضاؤك سر توفيقي
وحبك ومض إيماني
وصدق دعائك انفرجت
به كربي وأحزاني
ودادك لا يشاطرني
به أحد من البشر
فأنت النبض في قلبي
وأنت النور في بصري
وأنت اللحن في شفتي
بوجهك ينجلي كدري
إليك أعود يا أمي
غدا أرتاح من سفري
ويبدأ عهدي الثاني
ويزهو الغصن بالزهر
