Hadith 7992

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْعَلَاءَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ لِي قَرَابَةً أَصِلُهُمْ وَيَقْطَعُونيَ ، وَأُحْسِنُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَيُسِيئُونَ إِلَيَّ ، وَأَحْلُمُ عَنْهُمْ وَيَجْهَلُونَ عَلَيَّ . قَالَ : " لَئِنْ كُنْتَ كَمَا تَقُولُ ، فَكَأَنَّمَا تُسِفُّهُمْ الْمَلَّ ، وَلَا يَزَالُ مَعَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ ظَهِيرٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ، مَا دُمْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that he presented himself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have some relatives with whom I maintain ties of kinship, but they sever relations with me. I treat them well, but they treat me badly. I am patient with them, but they behave ignorantly towards me." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If the reality is as you have described, then it is as if you are feeding them hot ashes, and as long as you remain steadfast in your conduct, there will always be a helper from Allah with you."
