Musnad Ahmad 1686

Translation

✧ Abu al-Raddad fell ill, and Abd al-Rahman b. Awf visited him. Abu al-Raddad said: "The best of them and the most maintaining of ties, as far as I know, is Abu Muhammad." Then Abd al-Rahman b. Awf said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: I am Allah, and I am al-Rahman. I created the womb and derived its name from My name. Whoever maintains it, I maintain him, and whoever severs it, I cut him off.'"
