It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a Bedouin passed by me during a journey. The father of this Bedouin was a friend of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), so he (Ibn Umar) said to the Bedouin: "Are you not the son of so-and-so?" He replied: "Yes." Then Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) ordered that a donkey be given to him (the Bedouin), and he also took off his turban and gave it to him. Some of his fellow travelers said: "Would it not have been sufficient to give him two dirhams?" He replied: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Take care of your father's friendship; do not break it, otherwise Allah will extinguish your light.'"

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "The greatest act of kindness is to show kindness to the friends of one's father."
