az-Zuhd li-Ahmad, no.2299

‘Abdullaah ibn Muhayreez said:

Whoever walks in front of his father, then he has disobeyed him, unless he walked [ahead] to remove [any] harm from his path.

And whoever calls his father by his name or his kunyah (nickname), then he has disobeyed him, unless he called him [by saying]: ‘O my father’.
