Umm Muhammad (Sahih International):
The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and his wives are [in the position of] their mothers.

Believe! Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth." But he says, "This is not but legends of the former people"
Abdel Haleem:
But some say to their parents, ‘What? Are you really warning me that I shall be raised alive from my grave, when so many generations have already passed and gone before me?’ His parents implore God for help; they say, ‘Alas for you!

Abdel Haleem:
Among them are some who [appear to] listen to you, but we have placed covers over their hearts- so they do not understand the Quran- and deafness in their ears.
