47. Kulayb ibn Manfa'a reported that his grandfather asked, "Messenger of Allah, towards whom should I be dutiful?" He replied, "Your mother, your father, your sister and your brother. Then your mawla (client) has the next right against you and then your relatives who are connected." .

48. قال أبو هريرة: «لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هذه الآية: ﴿وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ﴾ [الشعراء: ٢١٤]، قام رسولُ الله ﷺ فنادى: يا بني كعب بن لُؤَيّ! أنقذوا أنفسكم من النار! يا بني عبد مناف! أنقذوا أنفسكم من النار! يا بني هاشم! أنقذوا أنفسكم من النار! يا بني عبد المطلب! أنقذوا أنفسكم من النار! يا فاطمة بنت محمد! أنقذي نفسك من النار! فإني لا أملك لكم من الله شيئًا، إلا أن لكم رَحِمًا سأبلّها ببلالها».

48. Abu Hurayra said, "When the following ayat was revealed ('Warn your near relatives' (26:214)), the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stood up and called out, saying, 'Banu Ka'b ibn Lu'ayy! Save yourselves from the Fire! Banu 'Abdu Manaf! Save yourselves from the Fire! Banu Hashim! Save yourselves from the Fire! Banu 'Abdu'l-Muttalib! Save yourselves from the Fire! Fatima, daughter of Muhammad! Save yourselves from the Fire! I do not have anything for you in respect to Allah except for the fact that you have ties of kinship.'"

49. أبو أيوب الأنصاري أخبره أن أعرابيًّا جاء إلى النبي ﷺ وهو في سفر، فقال: «أخبرني بعمل يُدنيني من الجنة ويُباعدني من النار». فقال: «تعبد الله ولا تشرك به شيئًا، وتقيم الصلاة، وتؤتي الزكاة، وتصل الرحم».

49. Abu Ayyub al-Ansari told him that a bedouin came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, while he was travelling.

50. أبو هريرة رضي الله عنه يرويه قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: «خلق الله الخلق، فلما فرغ منه قامت الرحم فقالت: هذا مقام العائذ بك من القطيعة. قال: نعم، أما ترضين أن أصل من وصلك وأقطع من قطعك؟ قالت: بلى يا رب، قال: فذاك لك». ثم قال أبو هريرة رضي الله عنه: «اقرءوا إن شئتم: ﴿فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَن تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ﴾».

50. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah Almighty created creation. When He had finished it, ties of kinship rose up. Allah said, 'Stop!' They said, 'This is the place for anyone seeking refuge with You from being cut off' Allah said, 'Are you not content that I should maintain connections with the one who maintains connection with you and I should cut off the one who cuts you off?' It replied, 'Yes indeed, my Lord.' He said, 'You have that.'" Then Abu Hurayra said, "If you wish, you can recite, 'Is it not likely that, if you did turn away, you would cause corruption in the earth and sever your ties of kinship?' (47:22)" .

51. ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما تحدّث عن الآية: ﴿وَآتِ ذَا الْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُ وَالْمِسْكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ﴾ (الإسراء: 26)، فقال: «إنه يبدأ بأمرِ أشدِّ الحقوق الواجبة لزومًا، ويرشدنا إلى أفضل الفعل إن كان عندنا مال، فيقول: ﴿وَآتِ ذَا الْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُ وَالْمِسْكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ﴾. ويعلّمنا أيضًا ما نقوله إن لم يكن عندنا شيء، فيقول: ﴿وَإِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ابْتِغَاءَ رَحْمَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكَ تَرْجُوهَا فَقُل لَّهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّيْسُورًا﴾ (الإسراء: 28)، على سبيل الوعد الحسن. الأمور على ما هي عليه، لكنها قد تتغير إن شاء الله. ﴿وَلَا تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُولَةً إِلَىٰ عُنُقِكَ﴾ فلا تعطي شيئًا، ﴿وَلَا تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ﴾ فتعطي كل ما عندك، ﴿فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُومًا﴾ إذ يلومك من يأتي بعدك فيجدك لا شيء عندك، ﴿مَّحْسُورًا﴾ (الإسراء: 29)». قال: «الذي أعطيتَه كلَّ شيء قد أفقرَك».

51. Ibn 'Abbas spoke about the ayat, "Give your relatives their due, and the very poor and travellersÉ" (17:26), and said, "He begins by commanding the most pressing of the obligatory dues and He directs us to the best action if we have any money. He says: 'Give your relatives their due, and the very poor and travellers.' He also teaches us what we can say if we have nothing. He says, 'But if you do turn away from them, seeking the mercy you hope for from your Lord, then speak to them with words that bring them ease' (17:28) in the form of an excellent promise. Things are as they are, but they might change if Allah wills. 'Do not keep your hand chained to your neck' and not give anything, 'but do not extend it either to its full extent' and give all you have, 'so that you sit there blamed' as those who come to you later and find you have nothing will blame you, 'and destitute.' (17:29)" He said, "The person to whom you have given everything has made you destitute."

٥٢. قال أبو هريرة: «جاء رجل إلى النبي ﷺ فقال: يا رسول الله! إن لي قرابة أصلهم ويقطعونني، وأحسن إليهم ويسيئون إليّ، وأحلم عنهم ويجهلون عليّ. فقال النبي ﷺ: إن كان الأمر كما قلت، فكأنما تُسفّهم المَلّ، ولا يزال معك من الله ظهيرٌ عليهم ما دمتَ على ذلك».

52. Abu Hurayra said, "A man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah! I have relatives with whom I maintain ties while they cut me off. I am good to them while they are bad to me. They behave foolishly towards me while I am forbearing towards them.' The Prophet said, 'If things are as you said, it is as if you were putting hot ashes on them and you will not lack a supporter against them from Allah as long as you continue to do that.'" .

54. Abu'l-'Anbas said, "I visited 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr at al-Waht (some land of his in Ta'if). He said, 'The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, pointed his finger towards us and said, "Kinship (rahim) us derived from the All-Merciful (Rahman). When someone maintains the connections of ties of kinship, they maintain connection with him. If someone cuts them off, they cut him off. They will have an unfettered, eloquent tongue on the Day of Rising."'" .

Then a young man went to one of his paternal aunts with whom he had severed ties two years previously. He went to her and she asked him, 'Nephew! What has brought you?' He replied, 'I heard Abu Hurayra say such-and such.' She said, 'Go back to him and ask him why he said that.' Abu Hurayra said, 'I heard the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "The actions of the children of Adam are presented before Allah Almighty on Thursday evening, the night before Jumu'a. He does not accept the actions of someone who has severed ties of kinship."'" .

62. Ibn 'Umar said, "Nothing that a man spends on himself and his family, anticipating a reward from Allah, will fail to be rewarded by Allah Almighty. He should begin with those whose support is his responsibility. If there is something left over, he should spend it on his next nearest relative and then the next nearest. If there is still something left over, he can give it away."

63. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «لَا تَنْزِلُ الرَّحْمَةُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ فِيهِمْ قَاطِعُ رَحِمٍ».

69. Al-Bara' said, "A bedouin came and said, 'Prophet of Allah! Teach me an action which will enable me to enter the Garden.' He said, "The question is a broad one, even though you have asked it in only a few words. Free someone. Set a slave free.' He said, 'Are they not the same thing?' 'No,' he replied, 'Freeing someone is setting someone free yourself. Setting a slave free is to contribute to the price of setting him free. Lend an animal for milking which has a lot of milk and treat your relatives kindly. If you cannot do that, then command the good and forbid the bad. If you cannot do that, then restrain your tongue from everything except what is good."

٧٠۔ قال حكيم بن حزام للنبي ﷺ: «أرأيت أمورًا كنت أتحنّث بها في الجاهلية: من صلة الرحم، وعتاقة الرقاب، وصدقة، هل لي فيها من أجر؟» فقال رسول الله ﷺ: «أسلمتَ على ما أسلفتَ من خير».

He sent one of the robes to 'Umar. 'Umar exclaimed, 'How can I wear it when you said what you said about it?' The Prophet replied, 'I did not give it to you so that you could wear it. You can sell it or give it to someone.' 'Umar sent it to one of his half-brothers by his mother who was still an idolater." (see 26)

72. جبیر بن مطعم نے بیان کیا کہ انہوں نے عمر بن الخطاب کو منبر پر یہ کہتے ہوئے سنا: "اپنے نسب سیکھو تاکہ تم صلہ رحمی کر سکو۔ اللہ کی قسم، اگر کسی شخص اور اس کے بھائی کے درمیان کوئی کدورت ہو اور وہ جانتا ہو کہ اس کے اور اس آدمی کے درمیان رشتہ داری ہے، تو یہ رشتہ داری اسے اس سے قطع تعلق کرنے سے روکے گی۔" 73. ابن عباس نے کہا: "اپنے نسب کا علم رکھو تاکہ تم صلہ رحمی کر سکو۔ وہ اپنے قریبی رشتہ داروں کو دور نہیں کرے گا جب وہ قریبی ہوں، خواہ وہ دور رہتے ہوں۔ وہ انہیں قریبی رشتہ دار نہیں سمجھے گا جب وہ دور کے ہوں، خواہ وہ اس کے قریب رہتے ہوں۔ صلہ رحمی کا ہر رشتہ قیامت کے دن ہر شخص کے سامنے آئے گا اور اس کے حق میں گواہی دے گا کہ اگر اس نے وہ رشتہ نبھایا تھا تو اس نے صلہ رحمی کی، اور اس کے خلاف گواہی دے گا کہ اگر اس نے اسے توڑا تھا تو اس نے قطع رحمی کی۔"

72. Jubayr ibn Mut'im said that he heard 'Umar ibn al-Khattab say on the minbar, "Learn your lineages so that you can maintain ties of kinship. By Allah, if there are some bad feelings between a man and his brother and he knows that there is kinship between him and that man, that will prevent him from breaking with him." 73. Ibn 'Abbas said, "Keep a record of your lines of descent so that you can maintain ties of kinship. He will not make his relatives distant when they are close relatives, even if they live far away. He will not consider them to be close relatives if they are distant ones, even if they live near to him. Every time of kinship will come on the Day of Rising in front of each individual and testify on his behalf that he has maintained that tie of kinship if he did indeed maintain it. It will testify against him that he cut if off if he cut it off."
