Indeed when near relatives are in contact, they become kind to each other. 35ـ إنَّ الرَّحِمَ إذا تماسَّتْ تَعاطَفَتْ. Verily keeping ties with near relatives is from the obligatory acts of Islam, and Allah, the Glorified, has commanded that they should be honoured, and He, the Most High, keeps ties with the one who keeps ties with them and cuts off ties with the one who cuts off ties with them and honours the one who honours them.
36ـ إنَّ صِلَةَ الأرْحامِ لَمِنْ مُوجِباتِ الإسْلامِ، وإنَّ اللّهَ سُبحانَهُ أمَرَ بِإكْرامِها، وإنَّهُ تعالى يَصِلُ مَنْ وَصَلَها، ويَقْطَعُ مَنْ قَطَعَها، ويُكْرِمُ مَنْ أكرَمَها. Making false accusations is the first step in cutting off ties. 37ـ التَّجَنّي أوَّلُ القَطيعَةِ. Beware!

Who will ever trust you when you are disloyal to your near relatives? 42ـ مَنْ ذَا الَّذي يَثِقُ بِكَ إذا غَدَرْتَ بِذَوي رَحِمِكَ. Many a distant one is closer than every near one. 43ـ رُبَّ بَعيد أقْرَبُ مِنْ كُلِّ قريب. Previous…
