قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) تَكُونُ لِيَ الْقَرَابَةُ عَلَى غَيْرِ أَمْرِي أَ لَهُمْ عَلَيَّ حَقٌّ قَالَ نَعَمْ حَقُّ الرَّحِمِ لَا يَقْطَعُهُ شَيْءٌ وَ إِذَا كَانُوا عَلَى أَمْرِكَ كَانَ لَهُمْ حَقَّانِ حَقُّ الرَّحِمِ وَ حَقُّ الْإِسْلَامِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from Salih Bin Abu Hammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Safwan, from Al Jaham Bin Humeyd who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘There happen to be relatives for him being upon other than my matter (Al-Wilayah). Is there (any) right for them upon me?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, the right of kinship. Nothing can cut if off. And had they been upon your matter (Al-Wilayah), there would have been two rights for them – the right of the kinship and the right of Al-Islam’.
