حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ طَاوُسًا، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ‏.‏ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ ‏‏{‏إِلاَّ الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى‏}‏ فَقَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ قُرْبَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَجِلْتَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ يَكُنْ بَطْنٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلاَّ كَانَ لَهُ فِيهِمْ قَرَابَةٌ فَقَالَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَصِلُوا مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ مِنَ الْقَرَابَةِ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Bashshar related to us: Muhammad ibn Ja'far related to us: Shu'ba related to us, from Abd al-Malik ibn Maysara, who said: I heard Tawus, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), that he was asked about the words, 'Except for affection toward kin' (Quran 42:23). Sa'id ibn Jubayr said: The kin here are the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Ibn Abbas said: You have answered hastily. There was no clan of Quraysh in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not have kin. He said: Rather, it means that you should maintain the kinship between me and you.
