Al-Kāfi - The Book of Belief and Disbelief Chapter: Good Relation with Relatives 13ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ عُثْ٠َانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ خَطَّابٍ الأعْوَرِ عَنْ أَبِي حَ٠ْزَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلا٠) صِلَةُ الأرْحَا٠ِ تُزَكِّي الأعْ٠َالَ وَتَدْفَعُ الْبَلْوَى وَتُنْ٠ْوَالَ وَتُنْسِئُ لَهُ فِي عُ٠ُرِهِ وَتُوَسِّعُ فِي رِزْقِهِ وَتُحَبِّبُ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ فَلْيَتَّقِ الله وَلْيَصِلْ رَحِ٠13.

It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Khattab al-‘A’War from abu Hamza who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.) has said, ‘Maintaining good relations with relatives cleanses the deeds, repulses misfortunes, increases wealth, delays the coming of death, enlarges ones share of sustenance and brings love to the family.

Therefore, one must be pious before Allah and maintain good relations with one’s relatives.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (8/370))
