Abdullah bin Qariz narrates that he went to visit Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) during his illness. Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "May the bond of kinship unite you." I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: I am 'Ar-Rahman' (the Most Merciful) and I have derived 'rahm' (the womb/ties of kinship) from My Name. Whoever joins it, I will join him, and whoever severs it, I will sever him." Or (he used these words) «مَنبَتَّهَاأَبَتُّهُ»
