Parents & family

The verse for your parents

Commanded immediately after being told not to say even a word of complaint to them.

وَٱخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱرْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِى صَغِيرًا

…rabbi-rḥamhumā kamā rabbayānī ṣaghīrā.

And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small."

The reason given is not that they are owed it, but that they did this for you once, when you could do nothing for yourself.
