بَابُ لَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِي:
Chapter. Al-Wasil (the one who keeps good relations with his kith and kin) is not the one who recompenses the good done to him by his relatives.
Hadith 5991
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، وَالْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، وَفِطْرٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ الْأَعْمَشُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَرَفَعَهُ حَسَنٌ ، وَفِطْرٌ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ ، وَلَكِنِ الْوَاصِلُ الَّذِي إِذَا قُطِعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا " .
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: The Prophet said, "Al-Wasil is not the one who recompenses the good done to him by his relatives, but Al-Wasil is the one who keeps good relations with those relatives who had severed the bond of kinship with him."
