Hadith.564 - Abu Al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) was asked about a man who says to his son or daughter, "May my father and mother (or my parents) be ransomed for you." The Imam responded: "If his parents are alive, I consider this to be an act of disobedience (toward them). If they have passed away, then there is no problem."
