Abu Ayyub Sulayman, the mawla of 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, said, "Abu Hurayra came to us on a Thursday evening, the night before Jumu'a. He said, 'Every individual who severs ties of kinship is constricted when he leaves us. No one left until he had said that three times. Then a young man went to one of his paternal aunts with whom he had severed ties two years previously. He went to her and she asked him, 'Nephew! What has brought you?' He replied, 'I heard Abu Hurayra say such-and-such.' She said, 'Go back to him and ask him why he said that.' Abu Hurayra said, 'I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "The actions of the children of Adam are presented before Allah Almighty on Thursday evening, the night before Jumu'a. He does not accept the actions of someone who has severed ties of kinship."'"

جَاءَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَشِيَّةَ الْخَمِيسِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ أُحَرِّجُ عَلَى كُلِّ قَاطِعِ رَحِمٍ لَمَا قَامَ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا فَلَمْ يَقُمْ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى قَالَ ثَلاَثًا فَأَتَى فَتًى عَمَّةً لَهُ قَدْ صَرَمَهَا مُنْذُ سَنَتَيْنِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَتِ ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ فَسَلْهُ لِمَ قَالَ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَعْمَالَ بَنِي آدَمَ تُعْرَضُ عَلَى اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَشِيَّةَ كُلِّ خَمِيسٍ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلاَ يَقْبَلُ عَمَلَ قَاطِعِ رَحِمٍ
