Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman narrates: Abu Darda became ill, so Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) came to visit him. Abu Darda said: To my knowledge, among the people, the best and the one who takes the greatest care of the rights of kinship is Abu Muhammad. So Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“Allah the Exalted says: I am Allah, I am the Most Merciful (Rahman), I created the womb (rahm, kinship) and I named it after My name. So whoever maintains it, I will maintain ties with him, and whoever cuts it off, I will cut him off completely.”
