Maintaining Good Relationships

SUMMARY: Allah will treat those who treat us with kindness and sever ties with those who sever ties with us.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "Allah created all the creatures and when He finished the task of His creation, Ar-Rahm (ties of relationship) said: '(O Allah) at this place I seek refuge with You against severing my ties'. Allah said: 'That I treat with kindness those who treat you with kindness and sever ties with those who sever ties with you'. It said: 'I am satisfied'. Allah said: 'Then this is yours". Then Messenger of Allah said, "Recite this Ayah if you like: 'Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship? Such are they whom Allah has cursed, so that He has made them deaf and blinded their sight". (47:22,23). Al-Bukhari and Muslim. The words in Al-Bukhari are: Messenger of Allah said, "Allah (SWT) says: 'He who maintains good ties with you, I maintain good ties with him; and he who severs your ties, I sever ties with him".
وعنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏"‏ إن الله تعالى خلق الخلق حتى إذا فرغ منهم قامت الرحم، فقالت‏:‏ هذا مقام العائذ بك من القطيعة، قال‏:‏ نعم أما ترضين أن أصل من وصلك، وأقطع من قطعك‏؟‏ قالت‏:‏ بلى، قال‏:‏ فذلك لك، ثم قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏"‏ اقرءوا إن شئتم‏:‏ ‏(‏فهل عسيتم إن توليتم أن تفسدوا في الأرض وتقطعوا أرحامكم‏.‏ أولئك الذين لعنهم الله فأصمهم وأعمى أبصارهم‏)‏ ‏[‏محمد‏:‏ 22،32 ‏]‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ وفي رواية للبخاري‏:‏ فقال الله تعالى‏:‏ ‏"‏ من وصلك، وصلته، ومن قطعك، قطعته‏"‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith of Abu Hurairah speaks about the importance of maintaining good relationships. It is narrated that when Allah finished creating all the creatures, Ar-Rahm, which means ‘ties of relationship’, asked for protection from Allah against any harm that could come to it. In response, Allah promised to be kind to those who are kind to Ar-Rahm and sever ties with those who do not maintain good relationships. This is further emphasized in the Quranic verse mentioned in the hadith which states that if one were given authority they should not cause mischief in the land or break their family ties as this would lead them to be cursed by Allah. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to maintain good relationships and be kind towards our family members and others around us as this is what pleases Allah. We should also remember that if we do not show kindness towards others then we will also not receive kindness from them or from God himself.
