Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 47Graders disagree
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ أَبَرُّ؟ قَالَ أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ وَأُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ وَمَوْلاَكَ الَّذِي يَلِي ذَاكَ حَقٌّ وَاجِبٌ وَرَحِمٌ مَوْصُولَةٌ
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."
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 48Sahih
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ} قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَادَى يَا بَنِي كَعْبِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ أَنْقِذُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ أَنْقِذُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ يَا بَنِي هَاشِمٍ أَنْقِذُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَنْقِذُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنْقِذِي نَفْسَكِ مِنَ النَّارِ فَإِنِّي لاَ أَمْلِكُ لَكِ مِنَ اللهِ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ أَنَّ لَكُمْ رَحِمًا سَأَبُلُّهُمَا بِبِلاَلِهَا
Abu Hurayra said, "When the following ayat was revealed ('Warn your near relatives' (26:214)), the Prophet ﷺ 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.'"

أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا عَرَضَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي مَسِيرِهِ فَقَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي مَا يُقَرِّبُنِي مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَيُبَاعِدُنِي مِنَ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَلاَ تُشْرِكْ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلاَةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ
✧ A bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ during his journey and said, "Tell me what will bring me near to the Garden and keep me far from the Fire?" He said, "Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish the prayer, give the zakat, and maintain ties of kinship."
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 50Sahih
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْخَلْقَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْهُ قَامَتِ الرَّحِمُ فَقَالَ مَهْ قَالَتْ هَذَا مَقَامُ الْعَائِذِ بِكَ مِنَ الْقَطِيعَةِ قَالَ أَلاَ تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ أَصِلَ مَنْ وَصَلَكِ وَأَقْطَعَ مَنْ قَطَعَكِ؟ قَالَتْ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ قَالَ فَذَلِكَ لَكِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ اقْرَؤُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ {فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَنْ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ}
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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.'"
{وَآتِ ذَا الْقُرْبَى حَقَّهُ وَالْمِسْكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ} قَالَ بَدَأَ فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَوْجَبِ الْحُقُوقِ وَدَلَّهُ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ الأَعْمَالِ إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ {وَآتِ ذَا الْقُرْبَى حَقَّهُ وَالْمِسْكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ} وَعَلَّمَهُ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ كَيْفَ يَقُولُ فَقَالَ {وَإِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ابْتِغَاءَ رَحْمَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكَ تَرْجُوهَا فَقُلْ لَهُمْ قَوْلاً مَيْسُورًا} عِدَّةً حَسَنَةً كَأَنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ وَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ {وَلاَ تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُولَةً إِلَى عُنُقِكَ} لاَ تُعْطِي شَيْئًا {وَلاَ تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ} تُعْطِي مَا عِنْدَكَ {فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُومًا} يَلُومُكَ مَنْ يَأْتِيكَ بَعْدُ وَلاَ يَجِدُ عِنْدَكَ شَيْئًا {مَحْسُورًا} قَالَ قَدْ حَسَّرَكَ مَنْ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتَهُ
Ibn 'Abbas spoke about the ayat, "Give your relatives their due, and the very poor and travellers" (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."

أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِي قَرَابَةً أَصِلُهُمْ وَيَقْطَعُونَ وَأُحْسِنُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَيُسِيئُونَ إِلَيَّ وَيَجْهَلُونَ عَلَيَّ وَأَحْلُمُ عَنْهُمْ قَالَ لَئِنْ كَانَ كَمَا تَقُولُ كَأَنَّمَا تُسِفُّهُمُ الْمَلَّ وَلاَ يَزَالُ مَعَكَ مِنَ اللهِ ظَهِيرٌ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا دُمْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ
Abu Hurayra said, "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ 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.'"
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 53Sahih
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ وَأَنَا خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَاشْتَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنَ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ
✧ He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Allah, Mighty and Majestic said, 'I am the Merciful (al-Rahman). I created ties of kinship and derived its name from My name. Whoever maintains it, I maintain him. Whoever cuts it off, I cut him off.'"

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فِي الْوَهْطِ يَعْنِي أَرْضًا لَهُ بِالطَّائِفِ فَقَالَ عَطَفَ لَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ 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 land of his in Ta'if). He said, 'The Prophet ﷺ 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."'"
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 55Sahih
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الرَّحِمُ شُجْنَةٌ مِنَ اللهِ مَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعَهُ اللَّهُ

Abu Ayyub Sulayman, the mawla of 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, said, "Abu Hurayra came to us on a Thursday evening, the night before Jumu'a. He said, 'Every individual who severs ties of kinship is constricted when he leaves us. No one left until he had said that three times. 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 ﷺ 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."'"
مَا أَنْفَقَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَأَهْلِهِ يَحْتَسِبُهَا إِلاَّ آجَرَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيهَا وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ فَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلاً فَالأَقْرَبَ الأَقْرَبَ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلاً فَنَاوِلْ
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."

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Ties of kinship are a branch from the Merciful. It says, 'O Lord, I have been wronged. O Lord, I have been cut off. O Lord, I... I... O Lord, O Lord.' He answers it, 'Are you not content that I cut off the one who cuts you off and maintain the one who maintains you?'"

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no sin more deserving that Allah hasten its punishment for its doer in this world, along with what is stored up for him in the Hereafter, than severing ties of kinship and wrongdoing."
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 68Sahih
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ الَّذِي إِذَا قُطِعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet ﷺ 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."
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 69Sahih
جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ عَلِّمْنِي عَمَلاً يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ أَقَصَرْتَ الْخُطْبَةَ لَقَدْ أَعْرَضْتَ الْمَسْأَلَةَ أَعْتِقِ النَّسَمَةَ وَفُكَّ الرَّقَبَةَ قَالَ أَوَ لَيْسَتَا وَاحِدًا؟ قَالَ لاَ عِتْقُ النَّسَمَةِ أَنْ تَعْتِقَ النَّسَمَةَ وَفَكُّ الرَّقَبَةِ أَنْ تُعِينَ عَلَى الرَّقَبَةِ وَالْمَنِيحَةُ الرَّغُوبُ وَالْفَيْءُ عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تُطِقْ ذَلِكَ فَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تُطِقْ ذَلِكَ فَكُفَّ لِسَانَكَ إِلاَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ
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."
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 70Sahih
أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِنْ صِلَةٍ وَعَتَاقَةٍ وَصَدَقَةٍ فَهَلْ لِي فِيهَا أَجْرٌ؟ قَالَ حَكِيمٌ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ
Hakim b. Hizam said to the Prophet ﷺ "Do you think that the acts of worship which I used to do in the time of the Jahiliyya - maintaining relations with relatives, setting slaves free and sadaqa - will bring me a reward?" Hakim said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you become Muslim, you keep the good actions you have already done."

Ibn 'Umar said, "'Umar saw a silk robe for sale. He said, 'Messenger of Allah, would you buy this robe and wear it on Jumu'a and when delegations visit you?' He replied, 'Only a person who has no portion in the Next World could wear this.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was given some robes made of the same material. 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)

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."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ احْفَظُوا أَنْسَابَكُمْ تَصَلُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ بُعْدَ بِالرَّحِمِ إِذَا قَرُبَتْ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَعِيدَةً وَلاَ قُرْبَ بِهَا إِذَا بَعُدَتْ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ قَرِيبَةً وَكُلُّ رَحِمٍ آتِيَةٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَمَامَ صَاحِبِهَا تَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِصِلَةٍ إِنْ كَانَ وَصَلَهَا وَعَلَيْهِ بِقَطِيعَةٍ إِنْ كَانَ قَطَعَهَا
✧ He said, "Learn your lineages so that you can maintain ties of kinship. For kinship is not distant when it is near, even if it is far away, and there is no nearness in it when it is distant, even if it is close. Every tie of kinship will come on the Day of Rising in front of its person, testifying for him if he maintained it, and against him if he cut it off."
