A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Messenger of Allah, I have relatives with whom I maintain ties while they cut me off, I pardon them while they wrong me, and I treat them well while they treat me badly. Shall I repay them in kind?"He replied, "No, for then you would all be abandoned. Rather, take the path of generosity and maintain ties with them, for as long as you do so, you will always have a supporter from Allah standing with you."
حدثنا يزيد بن هارون أخبرنا الحجاج بن أرطأة
جاء رجل إلى رسول الله ﷺ فقال يا رسول الله إن لي ذوي أرحام أصل ويقطعوني وأعفو ويظلمون وأحسن ويسيئون أفأكافئهم قال لا إذا تتركون جميعا ولكن خذ بالفضل وصلهم فإنه لن يزال معك ظهير من الله عز وجل ما كنت على ذلك
