Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr, may Allah be pleased with them both, also narrates that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Maintaining ties of kinship is hanging with the Throne, and the person who maintains ties only in return (is not truly) maintaining ties of kinship (in its original and perfect degree). The one who truly maintains ties of kinship is he who joins it when it is being severed."
