عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الرَّاحِمُونَ يَرْحَمُهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ ارْحَمُوا أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ يَرْحَمْكُمْ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ وَالرَّحِمُ شَجْنَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ مَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Most Merciful shows mercy to those who maintain ties of kinship; show mercy to those on earth, and those in the heavens will show mercy to you. The bond of kinship is a branch of the Most Merciful; whoever maintains it, I maintain him, and whoever severs it, I sever him.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By “those in the heavens” is meant the angels, and by their mercy is intended their supplication for mercy. (Abdullah Rafiq)
