حَدَّثَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَرِّدٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَمِّي سَعِيدَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ قَالَتْ : الرَّحِمُ هَذَا مَقَامُ الْعَائِذِ بِكَ مِنَ الْقَطِيعَةِ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، أَمَا تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ أَصِلَ مَنْ وَصَلَكِ وَأَقْطَعَ مَنْ قَطَعَكِ ؟ ، قَالَتْ : بَلَى يَا رَبِّ ، قَالَ فَهُوَ لَكِ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَنْ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ سورة محمد آية 22 " .
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah created the creations, and when He finished from His creations, Ar-Rahm i.e., womb said, "(O Allah) at this place I seek refuge with You from all those who sever me (i.e. sever the ties of Kith and kin). Allah said, 'Yes, won't you be pleased that I will keep good relations with the one who will keep good relations with you, and I will sever the relation with the one who will sever the relations with you.' It said, 'Yes, O my Lord.' Allah said, 'Then that is for you ' " Allah's Apostle added. "Read (in the Qur'an) if you wish, the Statement of Allah: 'Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land and sever your ties of kinship?' (47.22)

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: This hadith shows that mutual kinship and family ties among humans hold special significance in the sight of Allah, and in fact, in the narration of Sahih al-Bukhari, it is mentioned that the womb (rahm) is derived from al-Rahman, and Allah’s attribute of mercy (rahmah) is its very source and origin. Therefore, whoever maintains the ties of kinship (silat al-rahm), fulfills the rights of relatives and kin, and treats them with kindness, Allah will attach him to Himself and make him His own. And whoever adopts the attitude of severing kinship (qat‘ al-rahm), Allah will cut him off from Himself, distance him, and leave him without connection, and such a person will be deprived of Allah’s grace, bounty, and honor.
