«ليس الواصل بالمكافئ ولكن الواصل الذي إذا انقطعت رحمه وصلها»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"The one who maintains the ties of kinship is not the one who merely reciprocates; rather, the one who maintains the ties of kinship is the one who, when his ties of kinship are cut, joins them."
