Emphasis on Maintaining Ties of Kinship and Good Conduct with Relatives:
In this verse, the complete definition of the transgressors has been stated. That is, firstly, they break the covenant made with Allah «عهد الست بربكم» [172: 7], which was that we will worship Allah alone, and secondly, they sever those things—especially the ties of kinship—which Allah Almighty has commanded to maintain. The first type refers to the relationship between the servant and Allah, and the second type refers to the relationship between people. If regard is not given to both types of relationships, then all forms of corruption arise from here. Severing ties of kinship is such a great sin; observe this in the following hadith. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah ؓ says that the Prophet ﷺ said: When Allah Almighty had created all creation, the womb (rahm, kinship, in a personified form) stood up and held onto the waist of the Merciful Lord. Allah Almighty asked it: "What is the matter?" It replied: "I seek refuge with You from being cut off (that people will not maintain kinship)." Allah Almighty said: "Are you not pleased that I will maintain ties with the one who maintains you, and I will cut off the one who cuts you off?" The womb said: "My Lord, I am pleased with this." So Allah Almighty said: "So it shall be." Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah ؓ used to say: If you wish, you may recite this verse from Surah Muhammad in support of this hadith:
﴿ فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ اِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ اَنْ تُفْسِدُوْا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوْٓا اَرْحَامَكُمْ﴾ [22: 47]
That is, is it to be expected of you that if you are given authority, you will spread corruption in the land and sever ties of kinship. [بخاري، كتاب التفسير: تفسير۔ سورة محمد]
