حنان عن أبيه عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: قال سمعته يقول اتى أبا ذر رجل فبشره بغنم له قد ولدت فقال يا أبا ذر: ابشر فقد ولدت غنمك وكثرت فقال: ما يسرني كثرتهما فما أحب ذلك فما قل منها وكفى أحب إلى مما كثروا إلهي انى سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله يقول: على حافتي الصراط يوم القيام الرحم والأمانة فإذا مر عليه الموصل للرحم والمؤدى للأمانة لم يتكفابه في النار.
Imam Muhammad Baqir (a) said“A man came to Abū Dharr and gave him good news of his sheep that had given birth. He said, ‘O Abā Dharr, I bring glad tidings that your sheep have reproduced and increased in number!’ He said, ‘I am not pleased by their increase in number and I do not like that. The few of them that are sufficient are more beloved to me than many that distract [me]. Verily I heard the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) say, “On the two sides of the path (ṣirāt) on the Day of Judgment will be the near of kin and the trusts, so when one who kept ties with the near of kin and returned the trusts passes by them, he will not be thrown by them into the Fire.”’”

الحسن بن محبوب عن مالك بن عطية عن أبي عبيدة عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام (قال: في، كتاب على أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام): ثلاث خصال لا يموت صاحبهن ابدا حتى يرى وبالهن: البغى وقطيعة الرحم واليمين الكاذبة يبارز الله بهاون أعجل الطاعة ثوابا لصلة الرحم وان القوم ليكونون فجار فيتواصلون فينمي أموالهم ويثرون وان اليمين الكاذبة وقطيعة الرحم لتذاران الديار بلاقع من أهلها وتنقل الرحمة وان في انتقال الرحمة انقطاع النسل.
Imam Muhammad Baqir (a) said, “In the book of ʿAlī, Amīr al- Muʾminīn, (a) [we find the following]: There are three traits whose possessor never dies until he has seen their evil consequences: aggression, severing ties with near relatives, and giving false testimony under oath, by which He proceeds to fight against Allah. Indeed the act of obedience that brings the quickest reward is keeping ties with near relatives. A community may be sinners but they keep ties with each other and [as a result] their wealth grows and they thrive. Verily [giving] false oaths and severing ties with near relatives ruins abodes, turning them into wastelands for their inhabitants, and removes mercy – and verily in the removal of mercy lies the severance of one’s lineage.”

When asked from Imam Jaffar Sadiq (a) about the verse wherein Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: Be mindful of Allah, in Whose name you appeal to one another, and [honor] your family ties… (Q4:1).

Do you not see that He placed it alongside Himself [when He mentioned it in the verse]?’”

علي بن النعمان عن ابن مسكان عن أبي حمزة عن يحيى ابن أم الطويل قال: خطب أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام الناس فحمد الله وأثنى عليه ثم قال: لا يستغنى الرجل وإن كان ذا مال وولد عن عشيرته وعن مداراتهم وكرامتهم ودفاعهم عنه بأيديهم وألسنتهم هم أعظم الناس حياطة له من ورائه والمهم لشؤونه وأعظمهم عليه حنوا (حسرة) ان اصابته مصيبة أو نزل به يوما بعض مكاره الأمور ومن يقبظ يديه عن عشيرته فإنما يقبض عنهم يدا واحدة وتقبض عنه منهم أيدي كثيرة ومن محض عشيرته صدق المودة وبسط عليهم يده بالمعروف إذا وجده ابتغاء وجه الله اخلف الله له ما أنفق في دنياه وضاعف له الاجر في آخرته واخوان الصدق في الناس خير من المال يأكله ويورثه، لا يزدادن أحدكم في أخيه زاهدا ولا يجعل منه بديلا إذا لم ير منه مرفقا أو يكون مقفورا من المال، لا يغفلن (يعزلن) أحدكم من القرابة يرى به الخصاصة ان يسدها مما لا يضره ان أنفقه ولا ينفعه ان أمسكه.
Imam Ali (a) once gave a sermon to the people in which he praised Allah and glorified Him, then said, ‘Even if a man is wealthy and has many children, he is never needless of his tribe and of their fellowship, respect, and their support of him with their hands and tongues. They are the greatest people in their defence of him in his absence, and the most important [supporters] for his affairs, and those who have the most sympathy for him when he is afflicted by some calamity or some mishap befalls him. Whoever withdraws his hand from his tribe, it is only a single hand he withdraws from them while many hands are [thereby] withdrawn from Him. Yet the one who offers pure and true affection to his tribe, and extends his hand to do good to them [and aid them financially] when possible, in order to please Allah, Allah compensates him for what he spends in this world and multiplies his reward in the Hereafter. True brothers among the people are better than wealth which one consumes and bequeaths. Let none of you ever increase in his apathy towards his brother, nor replace him with another when he sees no benefit from him, or if he is poor in [terms of material] wealth. Let none of you neglect [or abandon] any of the near of kin whom he finds to be in need, without fulfilling his need with that which would neither harm him if he spent it nor benefit him if he withheld it.’”

Imam Jaffar Sadiq as said, ‘Verily the womb, suspended from the [Divine] Throne, will call out on the Day of Judgment, “O Allah, keep ties with the one who kept my ties and cut off the one who severed my ties.”’ When asked, ‘Is this [in reference to] the womb [relations] of the Messenger of Allah (ṣ)?’ He replied, ‘Rather, the womb [relations] of the Messenger of Allah is one of them.’ He also said, ‘Verily the womb will come on the Day of Judgment in the form of a rotating object, which is [akin to] a spindle, so whoever comes to it having established its ties, it will spread light out for him until he enters Paradise, but whoever comes to it having severed its ties, it constricts him until it casts him into the Fire.’”

Imam Musa Kazim (a) whom he heard saying, “It may be that thirty years remain for a man to live, but he regularly keeps ties with his close kinsfolk and with his near relatives, so Allah increases it to thirty-three years. And it may be that thirty three years remain of his life, but he is undutiful towards his close kinsfolk and cuts off ties with his near relatives, so Allah reduces it to thirty years.”

If you do that, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will be your succorer.”’” ʿAbdullāh ibn Ṭalḥah said, “I asked Imam Jaffar Sadiq (a), ‘What is a succorer?’ He said, ‘A helper.’”

قَالَ ٱلْإِمَامُ ٱلصَّادِقُ (عليه السلام): أَدْنَى الْعُقُوقِ أُفٍّ وَلَوْ عَلِمَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ شَيْئاً أَهْوَنَ مِنْهُ لَنَهَى عَنْهُ.
Imam Ja'far (AS) said: "The least form of disobedience to parents is saying 'Uff.' If Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, had known anything lesser than this, He would have forbidden it."

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) مَا يَمْنَعُ الرَّجُلَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَبَرَّ وَالِدَيْهِ حَيَّيْنِ وَمَيِّتَيْنِ يُصَلِّيَ عَنْهُمَا وَيَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهُمَا وَيَحُجَّ عَنْهُمَا وَيَصُومَ عَنْهُمَا فَيَكُونَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ لَهُمَا وَلَهُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ فَيَزِيدَهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِبِرِّهِ وَصِلَتِهِ خَيْراً كَثِيراً.
Imam Ja'far (AS) said: "What prevents a man among you from honoring his parents, both in their lifetime and after their death? He can pray on their behalf, give charity on their behalf, perform Hajj on their behalf, and fast on their behalf. Whatever he does for them, he will receive the same reward. And Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, will increase him in goodness due to his kindness and devotion."

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ مُحَمَّدٌ (صلى الله عليه وآله): وَوَالِدَيْكَ فَأَطِعْهُمَا وَبَرَّهُمَا حَيَّيْنِ كَانَا أَوْ مَيِّتَيْنِ وَإِنْ أَمَرَاكَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ فَافْعَلْ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الإيمَانِ.
