A young man once approached the Prophet ﷺ, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, my father is taking my money!" The Prophet ﷺ summoned the father and inquired about the situation.

The father replied, "O Messenger of Allah, there was a time when you were weak and I was strong, poor and resourceful. I never denied you anything.
But now the roles have reversed: I am frail and in need, while you are vigorous." As the Prophet ﷺ delved deeper, the father neared, and it was then that Jibreel (Gabriel) descended and informed him, "Allah has heard what the father
concealed in his heart and has transformed it into poetic verses." The Prophet ﷺ then asked, "Share with me the words that were locked in your heart, for Allah has revealed them to me." The old man recited:
"I nurtured you in
infancy,
tended to you during your youth. I invested my wealth in you, and you blossomed before my eyes. But when you reached full strength and maturity,
you treated me as if I were at your service, as though you were owed something.
A touch of kindness would have been enough—
like that between two neighbors.
Instead, you showered me with harsh words and disdain,
as if I had been the one at fault."
Upon hearing this, the Prophet ﷺ wept and grasped the old man's hand, turning to the son and declaring, "It is your father who truly owns you and
your wealth." Happy Father's Day. #DaD
