ENGLISH TRANSLATION

22. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from al-Qasim ibn Y ahya from his grandfather al-Hassan ibn Rashid from abu Basir from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “Amir al-Mu’minin (Ali ibn abu Talib) عليه السلام has said, ‘One must maintain good relations with relatives. Even offering the greeting of peace should not be held back from them. Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, says, “Have fear of the One by whose name you swear to settle your differences and have respect for your relatives. Allah certainly keeps watch over you.’” (4:1)
