It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When I took possession of the weapons of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I found a piece of paper in the sword of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), in which it was written: "Maintain ties with the one who severs relations with you, treat well the one who treats you badly, and speak the truth even if it is against yourself."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Sayyiduna Abu Darda Laysi (may Allah be pleased with him) fell ill, and Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) came to visit him. Abu Darda said: (This Abdur Rahman) is the best and most devoted in maintaining ties. O Abu Muhammad! Do you know? Abdur Rahman said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Allah the Exalted said: I am Allah and I am the Most Merciful (Rahman). I created the womb (i.e., kinship) and derived its name from My own name. Whoever maintains it, I will maintain him, and whoever cuts it off, I will cut him off.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he states that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Among the commands of Allah that are followed, there is nothing for which reward is given more quickly than maintaining ties of kinship, and there is no (sin) for which punishment is given more quickly than oppression and severing ties of kinship. And a false oath lays waste to lands."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a relative goes to another relative and asks for something extra that Allah Almighty has given him, but he is stingy (and does not give), then on the Day of Resurrection a snake will be brought out from Hell for such a person, which will have its tongue out and will be called «شجاع» , and it will be made into a collar for that person."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Suwaid bin ‘Amir Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Keep the ties of kinship fresh, even if it is only by greeting (with salam).”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a relative goes to another relative and asks for something extra which Allah Almighty has granted him, but he acts stingily (and does not give), then on the Day of Resurrection a snake will be brought out from Hell for such a person, which will have its tongue out and which will be called «شجاع» , and it will be made into a collar for that person."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If two men enter into Islam and then sever relations with each other, then one of them (i.e., the one who wrongs) goes out of Islam until he gives up severing relations."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Khirash Salmi that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever severs ties with his brother and abandons him for a year, it is as if he has shed the blood of a Muslim."

Mu'abad Jahani says that Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to narrate fewer ahadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he would rarely leave out these words (or the narrator said that) he used to mention them in the Friday sermons: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When Allah intends good for someone, He grants him understanding in the religion. Wealth is sweet, lush, and attractive; whoever acquires it rightfully, it will be blessed for him. And you people should avoid praising one another, for doing so is akin to slaughtering."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The heaviest deed in the scale is good character."
