4ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ خَطَّابٍ الأعْوَرِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) صِلَةُ الأرْحَامِ تُزَكِّي الأعْمَالَ وَتُنْمِي الأمْوَالَ وَتَدْفَعُ الْبَلْوَى وَتُيَسِّرُ الْحِسَابَ وَتُنْسِئُ فِي الأجَلِ.
4. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Khattab al-A’War from abu Hamza who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far عليه السلام has said, ‘Having good relations with relatives cleanses ones deeds, increases ones wealth, repulses misfortunes, makes reckoning easier and delays the coming of death.’”
