Kindness to Parents, Relatives, Kinsfolk and Severance of Ties — Hadith 11

12. Al-Naḍr ibn Suwayd narrated from Zurʿah, from Abū Baṣīr who said, “I heard Abā ʿAbdillāh say, ‘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. ”’ I 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. ’”
