Good Relation with Relatives

28. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman and Hisham ibn al-Hakam and Durust ibn abu Mansur from ‘Umar ibn Yazid who has said the following: “Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام about the words of Allah, ‘. . . who maintain all the proper relations that Allah has commanded them to maintain, who have fear of their Lord and the hardships of the Day of Judgment.’ (13:21) The Imam said, ‘It was revealed about the family of Muhammad عليه السلام and can also apply to your relatives.’ Then the Imam said, ‘Do not be of those who say about something that it is about one thing only.’”
