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).  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي قَرَابَةً أَصِلُهُمْ وَيَقْطَعُونِي وَأُحْسِنُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَيُسِيئُونَ إِلَىَّ وَأَحْلُمُ عَنْهُمْ وَيَجْهَلُونَ عَلَىَّ فَقَالَ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ كَمَا قُلْتَ فَكَأَنَّمَا تُسِفُّهُمُ الْمَلَّ وَلاَ يَزَالُ مَعَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ ظَهِيرٌ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا دُمْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

(Using translation from Muslim 2558a)   

أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَارَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِي قَرَابَةً أَصِلُهُمْ وَيَقْطَعُونِي وَأَحْلُمُ عَنْهُمْ ويَجْهَلُونَ عَلَيَّ وَأُحْسِنُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَيُسِيئُونَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنْ كَانَ كَمَا تَقُولُ لَكَأَنَّمَا تُسِفُّهُمْ الْمَلَّ وَلَا يَزَالُ مَعَكَ مِنَ اللهِ ظَهِيرٌ عَلَيْهِمْ مَادُمْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

[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."  

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»  

"لَئِنْ كُنْتَ كَمَا قُلْت فَكَأنَّمَا تُسفُّهُم الْمَلَّ، ولا يَزَالُ مَعَكَ مِنْ اللهِ ظَهِيرٌ عَلَيهِمْ مَا دُمْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ".  

"إِنْ كنتَ كَمَا تَقُولُ فَكأَنَّمَا تسِفُّهُمُ المَلَّ ، وَلَا يَزَال مَعَكَ مِن اللَّهِ ظهِيرٌ مَادُمْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ".

حم عن أبى هريرة أَن رجلًا قال: يا رسول اللَّه إِنَّ لِى قَرَابَةً أصلُهُمْ وَيَقْطَعُونِى، وَأُحْسِن إِلَيْهِمْ ويُسِيئونَ إِلَىَّ.
