Abu Bakra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "There is no wrong action which Allah is swifter to
punish in this world - in addition to the punishment which He has stored
up for the wrongdoer in the Next World - than cutting off ties of kinship
and injustice."
Sa'id ibn Sam'an heard Abu Hurayra seeking refuge from the power of children
and fools. Sa'id said, "Ibn Hasana al-Juhani told me that he asked Abu Hurayra,
'What is the token of that?' He replied, 'That he severs ties of kinship,
obeys someone who is in error, and disobeys the correct guide.'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، وَالْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، وَفِطْرٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ سُفْيَانُ لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ الأَعْمَشُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَرَفَعَهُ الْحَسَنُ وَفِطْرٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: لَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ، وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ الَّذِي إِذَا قُطِعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا.
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "The one who maintains ties of kinship is not the
one who reciprocates. The one who maintains ties of kinship is the one who,
when his relatives cut him off, maintains ties of kinship."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Ties of kinship (rahim) is derived from
the All-Merciful (ar-Rahman). They say. 'My Lord! I have been wronged!
My Lord! I have been cut off! My Lord! I have! I have!' Allah answers
them, 'Are you not content that I cut off the one who cuts you off and I
maintain connections with the one who maintains connections with you?'"
