(27) Chapter: The excellence of maintaining ties of kinship
8
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَنْبَسِ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فِي الْوَهْطِ يَعْنِي أَرْضًا لَهُ بِالطَّائِفِ، فَقَالَ: عَطَفَ لَنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِصْبَعَهُ فَقَالَ: الرَّحِمُ شُجْنَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ، مَنْ يَصِلْهَا يَصِلْهُ، وَمَنْ يَقْطَعْهَا يَقْطَعْهُ، لَهَا لِسَانٌ طَلْقٌ ذَلْقٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.


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