Sunan Abi Dawud 4943, Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1919

Honour the elder

مَنْ لَمْ يَرْحَمْ صَغِيرَنَا وَيَعْرِفْ حَقَّ كَبِيرِنَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا

Man lam yarham saghirana wa ya'rif haqqa kabirina fa-laysa minna.

Whoever does not show mercy to our young and does not recognise the right of our elders is not one of us.
