It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty says: 'I am the Most Merciful (Rahman), I created the womb (rahm) and derived its name from My own name. Whoever maintains its ties, I will maintain ties with him, and whoever severs it, I will sever him and break him apart.'"
