قَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ قَاطِعِي سُبُلِ الْمَعْرُوفِ قِيلَ وَ مَا قَاطِعُو سُبُلِ الْمَعْرُوفِ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ يُصْنَعُ إِلَيْهِ الْمَعْرُوفُ فَيَكْفُرُهُ فَيَمْتَنِعُ صَاحِبُهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Ja’far Al Baghdady, from the one who reported it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Curse the ones who blocks the path the path of kindness’. It was said, ‘And what is blocking the way of the act of kindness?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘They are those who receive kindness but refuse to appreciate it and thus stop (discourage) the provider of kindness to others’.
