54/73 - From Ibn Abbas; he said: "Preserve your lineages, and you will maintain your ties of kinship; for there is no distance with kinship when it is maintained, even if it is far, and there is no closeness with it when it is severed, even if it is near. Every kinship will come on the Day of Resurrection before its owner, testifying for him if he maintained it, and against him if he severed it."
