‏حدثنا ‏ ‏قتيبة بن سعيد بن جميل بن طريف بن عبد الله الثقفي ‏ ‏ومحمد بن عباد ‏ ‏قالا حدثنا ‏ ‏حاتم وهو ابن إسمعيل ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏معاوية وهو ابن أبي مزرد ‏ ‏مولى ‏ ‏بني هاشم ‏ ‏حدثني ‏ ‏عمي ‏ ‏أبو الحباب سعيد بن يسار ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏أبي هريرة ‏ ‏قال ‏
‏قال رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏إن الله خلق الخلق حتى إذا فرغ منهم قامت ‏ ‏الرحم ‏ ‏فقالت هذا مقام العائذ من القطيعة قال نعم ‏ ‏أما ترضين أن ‏ ‏أصل ‏ ‏من ‏ ‏وصلك ‏ ‏وأقطع من قطعك قالت بلى قال فذاك لك ثم قال رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏اقرءوا إن شئتم ‏‏فهل عسيتم إن توليتم أن تفسدوا في الأرض وتقطعوا أرحامكم أولئك الذين لعنهم الله فأصمهم وأعمى أبصارهم أفلا يتدبرون القرآن أم على قلوب أقفالها
 

Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Verily Allah created the universe and when He had finished that, ties of relationship came forward and said: This is the place for him who seeks refuge from severing (of blood-relationship). He said: Yes. Are you not satisfied that I should keep relationship with one who joins your ties of relationship and sever it with one who severs your (ties of relationship)? They (the ties of blood) said: Certainly so. Thereupon He said: Well, that is for you. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) then said: Recite if you like: "Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship? Such are they whom Allâh has cursed, so that He has made them deaf and blinded their sight Do they not then think deeply in the Qur'ân, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)?"
