1979. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Learn enough about your lineage to facilitate keeping your ties of kinship. For indeed keeping the ties of kinship encourages affection among the relatives, increases the wealth, and increases the life-span." (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb from this route. The meaning of "Mansā'tun Fil-Athar" is increases the life-span.
١٩٧٩ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عِيسَى الثَّقَفِيِّ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الْمُنْبَعِثِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «تَعَلَّمُوا مِنْ أَنْسَابِكُمْ مَا تَصِلُونَ بِهِ أَرْحَامَكُمْ،» فَإِنَّ صِلَةَ الرَّحِمِ مَحَبَّةٌ فِي الْأَهْلِ، مَثْرَاةٌ فِي الْمَالِ، مَنْسَأَةٌ فِي الْأَثَرِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ: مَنْسَأَةٌ فِي الْأَثَرِ: يَعْنِي زِيَادَةً فِي الْعُمُرِ.

Both the Qur'ān and the Hadīth confirm the fact that virtuous deeds are rewarded by Allāh in the form of His blessings in this world too. Respecting the ties of kinship and fulfilling obligations towards the kinsmen is a blessed activity that bears the three fruits mentioned in the Hadīth in this world.
