(15) Chapter: Al-Wasil is not the one who recompenses the good done to him by his relatives

Hadith 5991

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr:

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) 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.”
