'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn 'Awf heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, said, 'I am the Merciful (ar-Rahman). I have created ties of kinship and derives a name for it from My Name. If anyone maintains ties of kinship, I maintain connection with him, and I shall cut off anyone who cuts them off.'"

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ وَأَنَا خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَاشْتَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنَ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah the Exalted has said: I am Compassionate, and this has been derived from mercy. I have derived its name from My name. If anyone joins it, I shall join him, and if anyone cuts it off, I shall cut him off.

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ وَهِيَ الرَّحِمُ شَقَقْتُ لَهَا اسْمًا مِنَ اسْمِي مَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ

[AI] To Him belongs the servant of the Most Merciful, and it is through your ties of kinship that you will attain mercy. Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said that Allah (glorified and exalted be He) said: "I am the Most Merciful. I have created the womb (i.e., relationships) and have derived its name from My Name. So, whoever maintains ties of kinship, I shall maintain ties with him, and whoever severs ties of kinship, I shall sever ties with him."

لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَصَلَتْكَ رَحِمٌ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنَ اسْمِي فَمَنْ يَصِلْهَا أَصِلْهُ وَمَنْ يَقْطَعْهَا أَقْطَعْهُ فَأَبُتَّهُ أَوْ قَالَ مَنْ يَبُتَّهَا أَبُتَّهُ

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah the Exalted has said: I am Compassionate, and this has been derived from mercy. I have derived its name from My name. If anyone joins it, I shall join him, and if anyone cuts it off, I shall cut him off. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1694)

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنَ اسْمِي اسْمًا فَمَنْوَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah the Exalted has said: I am Compassionate, and this has been derived from mercy. I have derived its name from My name. If anyone joins it, I shall join him, and if anyone cuts it off, I shall cut him off. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1694)

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ وَأَنَا خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَاشْتَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنَ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلَهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ

" Abu[Ar-Raddad] Al-Laithi complained(of an illness). So 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf visited him. He said: 'The best of you, and the most apt to maintain good relations, as far as I know, is Abu Muhammad('Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf). So 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf' said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah saying : "Allah, Most Blessed and Most High, said: 'I am Allah, and I am Ar-Rahman. I created the Rahim(womb), and named it after My Name. So whoever keeps good relations with it, I keep good relation with him, and whoever severs it, I am finished with him.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1907)

أَبُو الرَّدَّادِ خَيْرُهُمْ وَأَوْصَلُهُمْ مَا عَلِمْتُ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ أَنَا اللهُ وَأَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنَ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ

[AI] To him belongs Abdulrahman, and your womb is connected to him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah said, 'I am the Most Merciful, and I created the womb and derived its name from My name. Whoever maintains good relations with it, I will maintain good relations with him, and whoever severs it, I will sever ties with him, or whoever cuts it off, I will cut him off.'"

لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَصَلَتْكَ رَحِمٌ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ اللهُ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ وَخَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنَ اسْمِي فَمَنْ يَصِلْهَا أَصِلْهُ وَمَنْ يَقْطَعْهَا أَقْطَعْهُ أَوْ قَالَ مَنْ يَبُتَّهَا أَبْتُتْهُ

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah the Exalted has said: I am Compassionate, and this has been derived from mercy. I have derived its name from My name. If anyone joins it, I shall join him, and if anyone cuts it off, I shall cut him off. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1694)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ وَهِيَ الرَّحِمُ شَقَقْتُ لَهَا اسْمًا مِنَ اسْمِي مَنْ يَصِلُهَا أَصِلُهُ وَمَنْ يَقْطَعُهَا أَقْطَعُهُ فَأَبُتُّهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah the Almighty said, "I am the Most Merciful and it is through mercy that relationships exist. Whoever maintains good ties with his family, I will maintain good ties with him, and whoever severs his family ties, I will sever my ties with him."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ وَهِيَ الرَّحِمُ فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعْتُهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The womb (kinship) is a branch from the Most Merciful, so whoever keeps connected to it, Allah keeps connected to him, and whoever cuts it off, Allah cuts him off." Sahih (authentic).

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الرَّحِمُ شَجْنَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعَهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ» صحيح

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah the Exalted has said: I am Compassionate, and this has been derived from mercy. I have derived its name from My name. If anyone joins it, I shall join him, and if anyone cuts it off, I shall cut him off. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1694)

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ وَهِيَ الرَّحِمُ شَقَقْتُ لَهَا اسْمًا مِنَ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعْتُهُ وَمَنْ بَتَّهَا أَبَتُّهُ صحيح

[AI] He (the narrator) heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Allah the Exalted said: 'I am the Most Merciful. I have created the womb (i.e., the bond of kinship) and have derived its name from My Name. Whoever maintains ties of kinship, I maintain ties with him, and whoever severs ties of kinship, I sever ties with him.'" This is narrated by Abu Raddad Al-Laythi, with the addition of Sufyan bin 'Uyainah, Muhammad bin Abi 'Atiq, Shu'ayb bin Abi Hamzah, and Sufyan bin Husayn. It is an authentic narration.

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنِ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ «هَذَا أَبُو رَدَّادٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ قَدْ أَضَافَ فِيهِ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ وَمُحَمَّدَ بْنَ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ وَشُعَيْبَ بْنَ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ وَسُفْيَانَ بْنَ حُسَيْنٍ» صحيح

[AI] Abu al-Raddad complained, then Abdullah bin Rahman came to him and said, "May the best of them and the closest to them be with you. I don't know Abu Muhammad." Abdullah bin Rahman then said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, saying that Allah the Exalted said, 'I am Allah and I am the Most Merciful. I created the womb and I derived its name from My own name. So whoever maintains ties with it, I will maintain ties with him, and whoever severs it, I will sever ties with him." (Sahih)

اشْتَكَى أَبُو الرَّدَّادِ فَجَاءَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَائِدًا فَقَالَ خَيْرُهُمْ وَأَوْصَلُهُمْ مَا عَلِمْتُ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ أَنَا اللَّهُ وَأَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنِ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعْتُهُ صحيح

[AI] Narrator: It was narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said: 'I am Ar-Rahman (the Most Merciful). I have created the Rahim (womb) and I have derived its name from My Name. Whoever maintains ties with it, I shall maintain ties with him, and whoever severs it, I shall sever ties with him.'" [Saheeh Al-Bukhari]

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنِ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعْتُهُ صحيح

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah, the Most High, said: I am the Most Merciful; I have created ties of kinship and I have derived a name for it from My Name. So whoever maintains ties of kinship, I will maintain ties with him, and whoever severs ties of kinship, I will sever ties with him. "I returned to mentioning the companions, may Allah be pleased with all of them." Sahih

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا شُعْبَةً مِنِ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعْتُهُ «رَجَعْتُ إِلَى ذِكْرِ الصَّحَابَةِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ» صحيح

[AI] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Kinship is a bond from Allah. Whoever desires for his bond from Allah to be fortified, then he should connect his kinship. And whoever desires for his bond to be severed, then he should sever his kinship.'" (Sahih)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الرَّحِمُ شَجْنَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَرَادَ شَجْنَةً مِنَ اسْمِ اللَّهِ الِاسْمُ الَّذِي هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ مَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلَهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعَهُ» صحيح

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah the Exalted has said: I am Compassionate, and this has been derived from mercy. I have derived its name from My name. If anyone joins it, I shall join him, and if anyone cuts it off, I shall cut him off. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1694)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ « قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا اسْمًا مِنِ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ»

[AI] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has written in the Book of Decrees before He created the heavens and the earth, 'Verily, I am the Most Merciful, the Compassionate. I have created the Rahim (womb) and have derived its name from My name. So whoever keeps good relations with it (the family) I shall keep good relations with him, and whoever severs it (family ties), I shall sever ties with him."

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ كَتَبَ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ إِنِّي أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا اسْمًا مِنْ أَسْمَائِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعْتُهُ

[AI] He (saw) heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: Allah (swt) said, "I am the Most Merciful. I have created the womb (i.e., the family bond) and I have named it after My Name. So whoever maintains it, I will maintain connection with him, and whoever cuts it off, I will cut him off."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا اسْمًا مِنَ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Allah said, 'I am Allah, and I am the Most Merciful. I created the womb and derived its name from My name. So whoever maintains good ties with it, I will maintain good ties with him, and whoever severs it, I will sever ties with him."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ أَنَا اللهُ وَأَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنَ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ

"إِن الله كتب في أُمِّ الكتاب قبل أن يخلق السمواتِ والأرضَ إِنَّنِي أنَا الرحمنُ الرحيمُ خلقت الرَّحِمَ، وشَقَقْتُ لها اسمًا من اسمى، فمن وَصَلها وصلتُه ومن قطعها قطعته ".

"يَقُولُ اللَّه -تَعَالَى-: أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ، وَهِى الرَّحِمُ، جَعَلْتُ لَهَا شُجْنَةً حَتَّى مَنْ وَصلَهَا وَصَلتُهُ، وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ، لَهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لِسَانٌ ذَلِقٌ".
