32ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) صِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ تُهَوِّنُ الْحِسَابَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَهِيَ مَنْسَأَةٌ فِي الْعُمُرِ وَتَقِي مَصَارِعَ السُّوءِ وَصَدَقَةُ اللَّيْلِ تُطْفِئُ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

32. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from ‘Abd al-Samad ibn Bashir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام has said, ‘Maintaining good relations with relatives eases off the giving of accounts on the Day of Judgment, delays the coming of death and safeguards against misfortunes. Giving charity at night extinguishes the wrath of the Lord.’”
