Shaykh ammād al-Anārī (رَحِمَهُ اللهُ) mentioned a narration  in which al-Layth ibn Saad  - D.175H (رَحِمَهُ اللهُ) said:

The father has ten rights over his son:

         1. When he needs food, he feeds him

        2. When he needs clothing, he clothes him  if he is able to and this is some  of the explanations of Allāhs statement:

وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا ۖ

Behave with them kindly in the world.

[Sūrah Luqmān: (31:15)]

          3. When one of his parents needs his service, he serves them

          4. When he calls him, he replies and attends to him

        5. When he commands him to do an affair, he obeys him as long as it is not an act of disobedience [to Allāh] or backbiting

          6. To speak with him with kind, soft, lenient speech

          7. To not address him by his name

          8. To walk behind him

        9. To love for him what he loves for himself and dislike for him what he dislikes upon himself

         10. To supplicate for mercy for him
