قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ آلَ فُلَانٍ يَبَرُّ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً وَ يَتَوَاصَلُونَ فَقَالَ إِذاً تَنْمِي أَمْوَالُهُمْ وَ يَنْمُونَ فَلَا يَزَالُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَتَقَاطَعُوا فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ انْقَشَعَ عَنْهُمْ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Usman Bin Isa, from Suleyman Bin Hilal who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> that the family of so and so, some of them are being righteous with the others and helping out. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Then their wealth would develop and grow, and they would not cease to be in that until they cut-off (the kinship). So if they were to do that, it would vanish from them’.
