Riyad as-Salihin, 333
Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
I had a wife whom I loved but 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) disliked her. He asked me to divorce her and when I refused, 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) went to Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and mentioned the matter to him. Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked me to divorce her. <b>[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan Sahih]</b>.
وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال: كانت تحتي امرأة، وكنت أحبها، وكان عمر يكرهها، فقال لي: طلقها، فأبيت، فأتى عمر رضي الله عنه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فذكر ذلك له، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:
طلقها
. ((رواه أبو داود، والترمذي وقال: حديث حسن صحيح)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It is obligatory to obey the parent even in what is disliked.<br>
2) Obedience to the parents applies to what is good only. If one of them orders his child to do something that would spoil his religiosity, then no obedience is due to him.
