Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates a similar hadith of the Prophet.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and held the reins of his camel while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey, and he said: O Messenger of Allah! Or he said: O Muhammad! Tell me of an action that will bring me near to Paradise and keep me far from the Fire. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Worship Allah, do not associate anything with Him, establish prayer, pay zakat, and maintain ties of kinship.

Sayyiduna Salman bin Amir Dhabbi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Giving charity to a poor person earns only the reward of charity, but giving to a relative earns two rewards: one for charity and one for maintaining family ties.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Whoever is granted gentleness, has been bestowed with goodness and well-being of this world and the Hereafter. And acts of goodness such as maintaining family ties, good character, and treating neighbors well, populate homes (and tribes) and increase lifespans.
