"the quickest of obedience in reward is maintaining family ties, and indeed the members of a household may be sinful, yet their wealth increases and their numbers grow when they maintain family ties. And the quickest of sins in punishment is oppression, betrayal, and the false oath that consumes wealth, burdens family ties, and leaves homes desolate." It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Awsaṭ" (1/155/2 - from "Zawāʾid al-Muʿjamayn": narrated to us by Aḥmad - who is Ibn ʿAqāl - narrated to us by Abū Jaʿfar, who is al-Nufaylī - narrated to us by Abū al-Dahmāʾ al-Baṣrī - a truthful shaykh - from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr from Abū Salamah from Abū Hurayrah: and he said: "No one narrated it from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr except Abū al-Dahmāʾ, and al-Nufaylī was unique in narrating it."
