Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Salih ibn abu Hammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Safwan from al-Jahm ibn Hamid who has said the following: “I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘I have certain relatives who are not in my way (my belief). Do they have any rights on me?’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, it is the right of maintaining good relations with relatives that is not cut off by any means.

Had they been in the same way as your way they would have had two rights: The right of relatives and the right because of Islam.’” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (8/386))
