preserving the bond of kinship
29-
Narated By Jubair bin Mut'im : That he heard the Prophet saying, "The person who severs the bond of kinship will not enter Paradise."
30-
Narated By Abu Huraira : I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Who ever is pleased that he be granted more wealth and that his lease of life be pro longed, then he should keep good relations with his Kith and kin."
- in Sahih muslim, book of "Virtue, Good Manners And Joining Of The Ties Of Relationship"
Abu Huraira reported that a person said: Allah's Messenger, I have relatives with whom I try, to have close relationship, but they sever (this relation). I treat them well, but they treat me ill. I am sweet to them but they are harsh towards me. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: If it is so as you say, then you in fact throw hot ashes (upon their faces) and there would always remain with you on behalf of Allah (an Angel to support you) who would keep you dominant over them so long as you adhere to this (path of righteousness).
