قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ لِيَ ابْنَ عَمٍّ أَصِلُهُ فَيَقْطَعُنِي وَ أَصِلُهُ فَيَقْطَعُنِي حَتَّى لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ لِقَطِيعَتِهِ إِيَّايَ أَنْ أَقْطَعَهُ أَ تَأْذَنُ لِي قَطْعَهُ قَالَ إِنَّكَ إِذَا وَصَلْتَهُ وَ قَطَعَكَ وَصَلَكُمَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَمِيعاً وَ إِنْ قَطَعْتَهُ وَ قَطَعَكَ قَطَعَكُمَا اللَّهُ .
Translation
From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘There is a cousin of mine I maintain kinship with, but he cuts me off, and I maintain kinship with him but he cuts me off, to the extent that I have thought that if he were to cut me off (again), I will cut him off. Do you<sup>asws</sup> permit me to cut him off?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When you maintain it to him and he cuts you off, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Maintains it with both of you together, and if you cut him off and he cuts you off, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Cut off both of you’.
