"لَيسَ الْوَاصِلُ بالْمُكَافِئِ، وَلَكِنَّ الوَاصِلَ الذي إِذا انْقَطَعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا".
See similar narrations below:
Collected by Bukhārī, Abū Dāwūd, Tirmidhī, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Bayhaqī, SuyūṭīThe Prophet ﷺ said, "Al-Wasil is not the one who recompenses the good done to him by his relatives, but Al-Wasil is the one who keeps good relations with those relatives who had severed the bond of kinship with him."
وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ الأَعْمَشُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَرَفَعَهُ حَسَنٌ وَفِطْرٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ وَلَكِنِ الْوَاصِلُ الَّذِي إِذَا قَطَعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا
(Sufyan said : The version of the narrator Sulaiman does not go back to The Prophet ﷺ . Fitr and al-Hasan reported from him ) : The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said : One who compensates is not a man who unites relationship : but the man who unites relationship is the one who joins it when the relationship is cut off.
سُفْيَانُ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ سُلَيْمَانُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَرَفَعَهُ فِطْرٌ وَالْحَسَنُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ هُوَ الَّذِي إِذَا قُطِعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا
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."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ الَّذِي إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا
[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.'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الرَّحِمَ مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالْعَرْشِ وَلَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ الَّذِي إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا
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)
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ مَنْ إِذَا قُطِعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الْوَاصِلِ رَحِمَهُ الَّذِي يَقَعُ عَلَيْهِ اسْمُ الْوَاصِلِ
[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."
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."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الرَّحِمَ مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالْعَرْشِ وَلَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِي وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ الَّذِي إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا
"لَيسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ، وَلَكِنَّ الواصلَ الذي إذَا قُطِعَتْ رَحِمُه وَصَلَها".
