Al-Kāfi|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 68
6ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ صِلَةُ الأرْحَامِ تُحَسِّنُ الْخُلُقَ وَتُسَمِّحُ الْكَفَّ وَتُطَيِّبُ النَّفْسَ وَتَزِيدُ فِي الرِّزْقِ وَتُنْسِئُ فِي الأجَلِ.
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.”
