5. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from ‘Amr ibn abu al-Miqdam from Jabir from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘I ask my followers who are present, those who are not present, those in the back of men and in the wombs of women to the Day of Judgment to maintain good relations with their relatives even though they are far away at a distance of one year’s journey; it is part of religion.’”
