It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with them both, she says: My mother came to me while she was a polytheist. This was at the time when the Quraysh had a treaty with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: My mother has come to me and she desires some help from me; should I maintain ties of kinship with her? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Yes, maintain ties of kinship with your mother.
