كتاب البر والصلة والآداب
Chapter 6: Upholding Ties Of Kinship, And The Prohibition Of Severing Them
The severer would not enter Paradise. Ibn Umar said that Sufyan (explained it as): One who severs the tie of kinship would not enter Paradise.
The severer of the tie of kinship would not get into Paradise.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters.
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who is desirous that his means of sustenance should be expanded for him or his age may be lengthened, should join the tie of relationship.
He who likes that his sustenance should be expanded and his age may be lengthened should join the tie of kinship.
Allah's Messenger, I have relatives with whom I try, to have close relationship, but they sever (this relation). I treat them well, but they treat me ill. I am sweet to them but they are harsh towards me. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: If it is so as you say, then you in fact throw hot ashes (upon their faces) and there would always remain with you on behalf of Allah (an Angel to support you) who would keep you dominant over them so long as you adhere to this (path of righteousness).
Chapter 7: The Prohibition Of Mutual Jealousy And Hatred, And Turning Away From One Another
Neither nurse mutual hatred, nor jealousy, nor enmity, and become as fellow brothers and servants of Allah. It is not lawful for a Muslim that he should keep his relations estranged with his brother beyond three days.
Anas b. Malik reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying like this. This hadith has been narrated through another chain of transmitters.
" Do not cut off (mutual relations)."
" Neither nurse grudge nor sever (the ties of kinship), nor nurse enmity."
Nurse no grudge, nurse no aversion and do not sever ties of kinship and live like fellow-brothers as servants of Allah. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition:" As Allah has commanded you."
Chapter 8: The Prohibition Of Forsaking Someone For More Than Three Days For No Legitimate Reason
It is not permissible for a Muslim to have estranged relations with his brother beyond three nights, the one turning one way and the other turning the other way when they meet; the better of the two is one who is the first to give a greeting.
" The one turning away and the other turning away when they meet and one avoids the other and the other also avoids him."
It is not permissible for a Muslim to have estranged relations with his brother beyond three days.
There should be no estranged relations beyond three days.
Chapter 9: The Prohibition Of Suspicion, Spying, Competition, Artificial Inflation Of Prices, And So On
Avoid suspicion, for suspicion is the gravest lie in talk and do not be inquisitive about one another and do not spy upon one another and do not feel envy with the other, and nurse no malice, and nurse no aversion and hostility against one another. And be fellow-brothers and servants of Allah.
Don't have estranged relations (with the others) and don't nurse enmity and don't enter into a transaction when the other (has already entered) and be fellow-brothers and servants of Allah.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying. Don't nurse malice against one another, don't nurse aversion against one another and don't be inquisitive about one another and don't outbid one another (with a view to raising the price) and be fellow-brothers and servants of Allah.
" Don't sever relations of kinship, don't bear enmity against one another, don't bear aversion against one another and don't feel envy against the other and live as fellow-brothers as Allah has commanded you.
Don't bear aversion against one another and don't be jealous of one another and be servants of Allah.
