adab:47

Kulayb ibn Manfa'a reported that his grandfather asked, "Messenger of Allah, towards whom should I be dutiful?" He replied, "Your mother, your father, your sister and your brother. Then your mawla (client) has the next right against you and then your relatives who are connected."  

الأدب المفرد:٤٧حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ضَمْضَمُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْحَنَفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا كُلَيْبُ بْنُ مَنْفَعَةَ قَالَ قَالَ جَدِّي

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ أَبَرُّ؟ قَالَ أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ وَأُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ وَمَوْلاَكَ الَّذِي يَلِي ذَاكَ حَقٌّ وَاجِبٌ وَرَحِمٌ مَوْصُولَةٌ

abudawud:5140Muḥammad b. ʿĪsá > al-Ḥārith b. Murrah > Kulayb b. Manfaʿah from his father

Messenger of Allah! to whom should I show kindness? He said: Your mother, your sister, your brother and the slave whom you set free and who is your relative, a due binding (on you), and a tie of relationship which should be joined.  

أبو داود:٥١٤٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ حَدَّثَنَا كُلَيْبُ بْنُ مَنْفَعَةَ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَبَرُّ قَالَ أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ وَأُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ وَمَوْلاَكَ الَّذِي يَلِي ذَاكَ حَقٌّ وَاجِبٌ وَرَحِمٌ مَوْصُولَةٌ
