" and among them are those whom I do not know." It has been authentically reported from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) that he said: "Whoever wishes for his provision to be increased and his lifespan to be extended, let him maintain his family ties." Agreed upon from the ḥadīth of Anas. It was also narrated by al-Bukhārī from the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah, and by al-Ḥākim (4/160) from the ḥadīth of ʿAlī and Ibn ʿAbbās. There is a third supporting narration similar to it: "Know your lineages, maintain your family ties, for there is no closeness in kinship if it is severed, even if it is near, and no distance if it is maintained, even if it is far."

- "Know your lineages, maintain your family ties, for there is no closeness in kinship if it is severed, even if it is near, and no distance if it is maintained, even if it is far." It was narrated by Abū Dāwūd al-Ṭayālisī in "Musnad" (2757): Isḥāq ibn Saʿīd told us, saying: My father told me, saying: "I was with Ibn ʿAbbās when a man came to him and asked: Who are you? He mentioned a distant kinship to him, so he spoke kindly to him and said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said..." and he mentioned it. It was also narrated by al-Ḥākim (4/161) and al-Samʿānī in "al-Ansāb" (1/7) through the route of al-Ṭayālisī. Al-Ḥākim said: "Authentic according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs." Al-Dhahabī agreed with him. I say: It is only according to the criteria of Muslim alone, for al-Ṭayālisī was not relied upon by al-Bukhārī, who only narrated from him in a suspended form. The ḥadīth was narrated by al-Bukhārī in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (no. 73): Aḥmad ibn Yaʿqūb told us, saying: Isḥāq ibn Saʿīd ibn ʿAmr informed us with it, stopping at Ibn ʿAbbās without the story
