English translation

1908. ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Merely maintaining the ties of kinship is not adequate. But connecting the ties of kinship is when his ties to the womb are severed and he connects it.” (Sahih) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣahīh. There are narrations on this topic from Salmān, ‘Āishah, [and ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar].

Arabic text

١٩٠٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌بَشِيرٌ أَبُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ ‌وَفِطْرُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ ، عَنْ ‌مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ،» وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ الَّذِي إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ، وَعَائِشَةَ.

Commentary

There is not much merit in connecting the ties of kinship with those who connect them with you. True merit lies in fulfilling your duties of kinship towards those who sever them, and deny your rights to you, so that there is no dearth of regard and respect for good family relation in the Islamic society.
