The Book of Asceticism · Hadith 107 (#Ḥadīth #19)

محمد بن أبي عمير عن جميل بن دراج قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن قول الله تبارك وتعالى: واتقوا الله الذي تسائلون به والأرحام، قال: هي أرحام الناس ان الله أمر بصلتها وعظمها، الا ترى أنه جعلها معه

20.Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿUmayr narrated from Jamīl ibn Darrāj who said, “I asked Abā ʿAbdillāh about the verse wherein Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: Be mindful of Allah, in Whose name you appeal to one another, and [honor] your family ties… (Q4:1). He said, “[It refers to] the kinship ties of the people. Verily Allah has commanded that they should be maintained and He gave that great importance. Do you not see that He placed it alongside Himself [when He mentioned it in the verse]?’”
