Hadith 101

(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy – From Hanan Bin Sadeyr who said, ‘We were in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws, and Muyassir was among us. He mentioned connecting with the relatives. Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘O Muyassir! Your term (death) has presented many a time, not once or twice. During all that Allah-azwj had Delayed your death due to your connecting with your relative, and if you want an increase in your lifespan, then be righteous to your sheykh’ – meaning his father’’. [124]
And from Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘The man could have been disowned by his parents during their lifetimes, then he fasts on their behalf after their death, and he prays Salat, and pays off the debts. He does not cease to be like that until he is Written as having been righteous with them. And he could be righteous with them during their lifetimes, but when they die, he neither pays off their debts, nor does he do any righteous act with an aspect from the aspects of the righteous deeds. He does not cease to be like that until he is Written as having been disowned’’. [125]
And the Prophet-saww said: ‘One whom it cheers to have an extension for him in his lifespan and expansion in his sustenance, then let him connect (help) his parents, for connecting with them is obedience to Allah-azwj and let him connect the ones with kinship’’. [126]
And he-asws said: ‘Being righteous with the parents and connecting (helping) the kindred ease the Reckoning’. Then he-asws recited this Verse: And those who are maintaining the relationships what Allah has Commanded with maintaining and are in awe of their Lord and are fearing the evil Reckoning [13: 21]. Connect your kindred, and even if it were to be with a greeting’’. [127]
And Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘(Performing) the Hajj negates the poverty, and (giving) the charity repels the affliction, and the righteousness (with the parents) increases in the lifespan’’. [128]
