قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا نَعْلَمُ شَيْئاً يَزِيدُ فِي الْعُمُرِ إِلَّا صِلَةَ الرَّحِمِ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَكُونُ أَجَلُهُ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ فَيَكُونُ وَصُولًا لِلرَّحِمِ فَيَزِيدُ اللَّهُ فِي عُمُرِهِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَيَجْعَلُهَا ثَلَاثاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَ يَكُونُ أَجَلُهُ ثَلَاثاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَيَكُونُ قَاطِعاً لِلرَّحِمِ فَيَنْقُصُهُ اللَّهُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَ يَجْعَلُ أَجَلَهُ إِلَى ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ . الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) مِثْلَهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘We<sup>asws</sup> do not know of anything which increases in the life-span except for the goodly relations with the relatives. The man might happen to have three years term (left of his life), and he maintains good relations with the relatives, so Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Increase thirty years in his life-span, and Make it to be thirty three years; and (or) his (remaining) life-span might be thirty three years and he cuts off the relationships, so Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Cut-off thirty years and Make his (remaining) term to be three years’. Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Washha, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al Hassan Al Reza<sup>asws</sup> – similar to it.
