9ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) صِلْ رَحِمَكَ وَلَوْ بِشَرْبَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ وَأَفْضَلُ مَا تُوصَلُ بِهِ الرَّحِمُ كَفُّ الأذَى عَنْهَا وَصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ مَنْسَأَةٌ فِي الأجَلِ مَحْبَبَةٌ فِي الأهْلِ.
9. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from abu al-Hassan al-Rida (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Maintain your kindred relations well even if it is a help with a drink of water. The best in such relations are not to cause any suffering to relatives. Keeping good relations with relatives delays the coming of death and brings love among them.”
