Silsilah as-Sahihah 2379 — Maintaining family ties

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he states that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Among the commands of Allah that are followed, there is nothing for which reward is given more quickly than maintaining ties of kinship, and there is no (sin) for which punishment is given more quickly than oppression and severing ties of kinship. And a false oath lays waste to lands."
