ahmad:6817Wakīʿ > Fiṭr Wayazīd b. Hārūn > Fiṭr > Mujāhid > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said: "Verily, the womb (kinship) is suspended by the Throne, and the one who maintains relations is not the one who reciprocates, but rather, the one whose kinship is severed by their relative and still maintains it." He said: "The one who maintains relations."  

أحمد:٦٨١٧حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا فِطْرٌ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا فِطْرٌ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الرَّحِمَ مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالْعَرْشِ وَلَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ مَنْ إِذَا قَطَعَتْهُ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا قَالَ يَزِيدُ الْمُوَاصِلُ

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, the womb is connected to the Divine Throne, and the one who maintains family ties is not the one who reciprocates, but rather it is the one who maintains ties even when they are severed.'"  

أحمد:٦٥٢٤حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا فِطْرٌ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الرَّحِمَ مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالْعَرْشِ وَلَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ الَّذِي إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا  

ahmad:6785ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Sufyān > al-Ḥasan b. ʿAmr al-Fuqaymī > Mujāhid > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr

the Prophet said: "Merely maintaining the ties of kinship is not adequate. But connecting the ties of kinship is when his ties to the womb are severed and he connects it." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1908)   

أحمد:٦٧٨٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْفُقَيْمِيِّ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ مَنْ إِذَا قُطِعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Kinship is connected to the Throne, and the one who maintains kinship is not the one who reciprocates, but the one whose ties of kinship remain even if they are severed."  

ابن حبّان:٤٤٥أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعِجْلِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ فِطْرٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ « الرَّحِمُ مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالْعَرْشِ وَلَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ الَّذِي إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, ties of kinship are attached to the Throne, and not connected by blood relations. Rather, the one who maintains ties of kinship is the one whose ties are severed, yet they still maintain them."  

البيهقي:١٣٢٢٠أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَمْشَاذٍ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ثنا فِطْرٌ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الرَّحِمَ مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالْعَرْشِ وَلَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِي وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ الَّذِي إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا
