Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 9052 — on encouragement to maintain family ties
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ تَعَلَّمُوا مِنْ أَنْسَابِكُمْ مَا تَصِلُونَ بِهِ أَرْحَامَكُمْ فَإِنَّ صِلَةَ الرَّحِمِ مَحَبَّةٌ فِي الْأَهْلِ مَثْرَاةٌ فِي الْمَالِ مَنْشَأَةٌ فِي أَثَرِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Acquire enough knowledge of your lineage so that you may establish ties of kinship among yourselves, for maintaining ties of kinship creates love among relatives, brings blessings in wealth, and increases lifespan.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is only through the knowledge of lineage that one can know who is a close relative and who is a distant one.
