Hazrat Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman narrates that Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Auf visited Hazrat Abu Raddad when he was ill and said: The best person among people is the one who maintains the most ties of kinship. I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Allah said! I am Allah and I am the Most Merciful (Rahman), and this is the womb (rahm); I have derived its name from My own name. So whoever maintains ties of kinship, I will join with him, and whoever severs them, I will cut him off.
