Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abdullah bin Qarib narrates that I heard Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) saying in his eloquent tongue that kinship is suspended from the Throne of Allah and, in its eloquent tongue, supplicates thus: O Allah! Be merciful to the one who maintains ties of kinship, and sever mercy from the one who breaks off relations.
