قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَمُدَّ اللَّهُ فِي عُمُرِهِ وَ أَنْ يَبْسُطَ لَهُ فِي رِزْقِهِ فَلْيَصِلْ رَحِمَهُ فَإِنَّ الرَّحِمَ لَهَا لِسَانٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ذَلْقٌ تَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ صِلْ مَنْ وَصَلَنِي وَ اقْطَعْ مَنْ قَطَعَنِي فَالرَّجُلُ لَيُرَى بِسَبِيلِ خَيْرٍ إِذَا أَتَتْهُ الرَّحِمُ الَّتِي قَطَعَهَا فَتَهْوِي بِهِ إِلَى أَسْفَلِ قَعْرٍ فِي النَّارِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abu Jameela, from Al Wassafy, (It has been narrated) from Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The one who is joyful if Allah<sup>azwj</sup> were to Extend in his life-span, and Expand for him in his sustenance, so let him maintain goodly relations with the relatives, for the kinship, there would be an eloquent tongue for it on the Day of Judgement, saying, ‘O Lord<sup>azwj</sup>! Maintaining Relationship with the one who maintained it with me, and Cut off the one who cut me off’. So the man would be seen to be on the goodly way, when the kinship comes to whim which he had cut if off, so it would plunge with him into the lowest depth into the Fire’.
