The Sufficient (Vol 2) · Hadith 523 (#Ḥadīth #1)

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ الله جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَاتَّقُوا الله الَّذِي تَسائَلُونَ بِهِ وَالأرْحامَ إِنَّ الله كانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيباً قَالَ فَقَالَ هِيَ أَرْحَامُ النَّاسِ إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمَرَ بِصِلَتِهَا وَعَظَّمَهَا أَ لا تَرَى أَنَّهُ جَعَلَهَا مِنْهُ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “I asked Abu ‘Abdillah about the words of Allah, Most Glorious is Whose name, ‘. . . have fear of the One by whose name you swear to settle your differences and have respect for your relatives. Allah certainly keeps watch over you.’ (4:1) “The Imam said, ‘It refers to the relatives of people. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has commanded to maintain good relations with relatives and has mentioned it with greatness. Consider that He has placed it next to His own name together with piety.’”
