ENGLISH TRANSLATION

6. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Hafs from abu Hamza from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “Maintaining good relations with relatives improves moral behavior, opens the ability for generosity, helps one’s soul agree easily to be generous, increases one’s means of sustenance and delays the coming of death.”
