Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as): Verily a man is obedient to his parents during their lifetime, then after they die, he does not repay their debts nor does he seek God's forgiveness for them, therefore God records him as being insolent. And a man is insolent to his parents and not good to them during their lifetime, but after their death he repays their debts and seeks forgiveness for them, therefore God records him as being righteous [and good to his parents]. al-Kāfī
