and for the first part of the ḥadīth, there is supporting evidence from the path of Ibn Abī Mulaykah from Yaʿlá ibn Mamlak from Umm al-Dardāʾ from Abū al-Dardāʾ from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) who said: "Whoever is given his share of gentleness has been given his share of goodness, and whoever is deprived of his share of gentleness is deprived of his share of goodness."

Whoever maintains it, I will maintain ties with him, and whoever severs it, I will sever ties with him." It was recorded by Abū Dāwūd (1694) and al-Tirmidhī (1/348) from the path of Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah from al-Zuhrī from Abū Salamah who said:
