[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have relatives whom I maintain ties with, but they sever ties with me and treat me badly, while I am kind to them and overlook their mistreatment. They also act ignorant towards me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If what you say is true, then it is as if you are pouring hot ashes on them, and as long as you continue to do so, Allah will continue to support you against them openly."  

ابن حبّان:٤٥٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ فقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي قَرَابَةً أَصِلُهُمْ وَيَقْطَعُونِي وَيُسِيئُونَ إِلَيَّ وَأُحْسِنُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَيَجْهَلُونَ عَلَيَّ وَأَحْلُمُ عَنْهُمْ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَئِنْ كَانَ كَمَا تَقُولُ فَكَأَنَّمَا تُسِفُّهُمُ الْمَلَّ وَلَا يَزَالُ مَعَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ ظُهَيْرٌ مَا دُمْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ»

Messenger of Allah, I have relatives with whom I try, to have close relationship, but they sever (this relation). I treat them well, but they treat me ill. I am sweet to them but they are harsh towards me. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: If it is so as you say, then you in fact throw hot ashes (upon their faces) and there would always remain with you on behalf of Allah (an Angel to support you) who would keep you dominant over them so long as you adhere to this (path of righteousness).
