قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الطَّاحِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ ، مِنْ خَثْعَمَ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : نَعَمْ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِيمَانٌ بِاللهِ " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، ثُمَّ مَهْ ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " ثُمَّ صِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَبْغَضُ إِلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى ؟ فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللهِ " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، ثُمَّ مَهْ ؟ قَالَ : " قَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ " قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، ثُمَّ مَهْ ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَمْرٌ بِالْمُنْكَرِ ، وَالنَّهْيُ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِ " .
It is narrated from a man of the tribe of Khath'am (a Companion, may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting among a group of his Companions. I asked: Are you the one who says that you are the Messenger of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." I said: O Messenger of Allah, which deed is most beloved to Allah Almighty? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Faith in Allah." I asked: O Messenger of Allah, then which after that? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then maintaining ties with relatives (silat al-rahim)." I said: O Messenger of Allah, which deed is most disliked and hateful to Allah Almighty? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Associating partners with Allah." I asked: O Messenger of Allah, then which after that? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Breaking ties of kinship and severing relations." I asked: O Messenger of Allah, then which deed after that is most hateful? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Commanding evil and forbidding good (righteous deeds)."

وَقَالَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَسَأَلَهُ : مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ فَمَتَّ لَهُ بِرَحِمٍ بَعِيدَةٍ ، فَأَلَانَ لَهُ الْقَوْلَ ، وَقَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اعْرِفُوا أَنْسَابَكُمْ تَصِلُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ ; فَإِنَّهُ لَا قُرْبَ لِلرَّحِمِ إِذَا قُطِعَتْ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ قَرِيبَةً ، وَلَا بُعْدَ لَهَا إِذَا وُصِلَتْ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَعِيدَةً " .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to him, and he asked him: "Who are you?" The man invoked a distant kinship, so he (may Allah be pleased with him) spoke to him with great gentleness and kindness, and said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Learn your lineages and family trees so that through them you may maintain ties with your relatives; for there is no nearness or closeness left in kinship when it is severed, however close the relation may outwardly be, and no distance hinders it when it is kept joined, however distant the relation may be."
