Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have some relatives with whom I maintain ties, but they cut me off. I do good to them, but they do evil to me. I show patience, but they act ignorantly towards me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you are truly as you say, then it is as if you are throwing hot ashes on their faces, and there will always remain with you an angel from Allah who will support you against them as long as you remain in that state."
