ON OBEYING THE PARENTS AND TIGHTENING THE BONDS OF KIN
131. Through his chain of authorities, he, peace be on him, said:
[Abu` Ja'far, peace be on him, related to me. He said:] "The minimum disobedience (to parents) is the (word) uf (ugh). And if Allah knew that there was something easier than uf, He would forbid it."
[Abu` Ja'far, peace be on him, related to me. He said:] "The minimum disobedience (to parents) is the (word) uf (ugh). And if Allah knew that there was something easier than uf, He would forbid it."
He, the Exalted, said: And do not say to them uf! If there was a word less than the word uf, Allah would forbid it, just as the Imam said.
132. Through his chain of authorities, he, peace be on him, said: [Abu` Ja'far, peace be on him, related to me. He said: Abu` 'Abd Allah, peace be on him, said:] "Tightening the bonds of kin and good manners increase faith."
Definitely, good manners and tightening the bonds of kin are two proofs of man's faith in Allah and his relationship with Him.
133. Through his chain of authorities, he, peace be on him, said: [Allah's Messenger, may Allah bless him and his family, said:] "He who guarantees one (thing) to me, I will guarantee four (things) to him: He should tighten the bonds of kin, so his family loves him; he is given generously; his fixed term is increased; and Allah will make him enter the Garden which He has promised."
Surely, tightening the bonds of kin is the best deed in Islam, for it brings about correlation, unity, and solidarity of society.
134. Through his chain of authorities, he, peace be on him, said: [Mohammed b. 'Ali, peace be on him, related to me. He said:] "Tightening the bonds of kin and good neighborhood increase properties."
Among the good deeds which Islam has adopted is kindness to blood relations and neighbors. For such a deed unifies the Muslims, spreads love and affection among them.
135. Through his chain of authorities, he, peace be on him, said: ['Ali b. Abu` Ta`lib said: I heard Allah's Messenger say:] "Verily, I fear for you that you will disdain the religion, sell your government, cut the bonds of kin, use the Qur'a`n as pipes, and that you give precedence to one of you, while he is not the most meritorious of you in religion."
These matters against which the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family, warned the Muslims bring about the destruction of society and make it deviate from the ideals which Islam has adopted.
