Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that a man came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have some relatives; I maintain ties with them but they sever ties with me, I forgive them but they wrong me, and I do good to them but they treat me badly. Can I then repay them for these actions? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, then you would all be left alone. You should continue to perform the virtuous deed and maintain ties with them. Indeed, as long as you remain upon this routine, there will be a helper from Allah Almighty with you.
