1907. Abū Salamah said: "Abū [Ar-Raddād] Al-Laithī complained (of an illness). So 'Abdur-Rahmān bin 'Awf visited him. He said: 'The best of you, and the one most apt to maintain good relations, as far as I know, is Abū Muḥammad ('Abdur-Rahmān bin 'Awf).' So 'Abdur-Rahmān bin 'Awf said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: "Allāh, Most Blessed and Most High, said: 'I am Allāh, and I am Ar-Rahmān. I created the Rahim (womb), and named it after My Name. So whoever keeps good relations with it, I keep good relations with him, and whoever severs it, I am finished with him.'"(Sahīh)
There are narrations on this topic from Abū Sa'eed, Ibn Abī Awfā, 'Āmir bin Rabī'ah, Abū Hurairah, and Jubair bin Muṭ'im.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Sufyān from Az-Zuhri (narrators in this chain) is a Sahīh Hadīth. Ma'mar reported this Hadīth from Az-Zuhri, from Abū Salamah, from Raddād Al-Laithī, from 'Abdur-
Raḥmān bin ‘Awf. This is what Ma’mar said. Muḥammad said: “The narration of Ma’mar is a mistake.”

Commentary
Allāh will deprive His closeness and mercy from anyone who severs relations from his kith and kin and tramples their rights. Sadly enough, we see everywhere that Muslims, by and large, are systematically neglecting their Prophet’s ﷺ teachings pertaining to their obligations towards close relations.
