[6518] 16 - (2554) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Allâh created the creation, and when He had finished, Ar-Rahm (the womb; kinship) stood up and said: "I seek refuge from those who serve the ties of kith and kin." Allâh said: "Yes, would it please you if I were to take care of those who take care of you and cut off those who cut you off?" It said: "Of course." Allâh said: "Then your prayer is granted." "Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Recite, if you wish: Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship? Such are they whom Allâh has cursed, so that He has made them deaf and blinded their sight. Do they not then think deeply in the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)?'"[1]

16 - (2554) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جَمِيلِ بْنِ طَرِيفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي مُزَرِّدٍ، مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي أَبُو الْحُبَابِ سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْهُمْ قَامَتِ الرَّحِمُ، فَقَالَتْ: هَذَا مَقَامُ الْعَائِذِ مِنَ الْقَطِيعَةِ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، أَمَا تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ أَصِلَ مَنْ وَصَلَكِ، وَأَقْطَعَ مَنْ قَطَعَكِ؟ قَالَتْ: بَلَى، قَالَ: فَذَاكِ لَكِ " ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ: {فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَنْ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ، أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَأَعْمَى أَبْصَارَهُمْ، أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا} [محمد: 23]
