Verse 23

۞ وَقَضَىٰ And has decreed رَبُّكَ your Lord أَلَّا that (do) not تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ worship إِلَّآ except إِيَّاهُ Him Alone وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ and to the parents إِحْسَـٰنًا ۚ (be) good إِمَّا Whether يَبْلُغَنَّ reach عِندَكَ with you ٱلْكِبَرَ the old age أَحَدُهُمَآ one of them أَوْ or كِلَاهُمَا both of them فَلَا then (do) not تَقُل say لَّهُمَآ to both of them أُفٍّۢ a word of disrespect وَلَا and (do) not تَنْهَرْهُمَا repel them وَقُل but speak لَّهُمَا to them قَوْلًۭا a word كَرِيمًۭا noble ٢٣

And your Lord has decreed that you worship not except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.
