It is narrated from Abdullah bin Dinar that a Bedouin passed by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) while we were on the way to Hajj. He said to the Bedouin: "Are you so-and-so, son of so-and-so?" He replied: "Yes." Then Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the donkey on which he used to travel for some comfort after getting tired from riding the camel, and he took the turban with which he used to tie his head, then he gave both these things to the Bedouin. When that man left, some of us said to Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): "You used to rest on your donkey and tie your head with the turban, but now you have given both these things to this Bedouin. He would have been satisfied with just a dirham." He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Indeed, the greatest act of goodness is to maintain ties with the loved ones of one's father after his death.'"
