-Giving of alms to relatives carries two rewards:

one the reward of alms and the other

the reward of helping relatives.

-A person who does not respect the rights of his relatives

will not enter Paradise.

-One who breaks off his relations with his relatives

shall not enter Paradise.

-A man who treats his relatives' well

in order to return their good treatment of him shows no real love for them.

The man who really shows his love for his relatives is one

who treats them well despite their being unkind to them.

-A man once went to Holy Prophet with a grievance against his relatives.

'O Messenger of God' he said,

'I have some relatives whom I treat with kindness.

Yet they show me no kindness.

I treat them well and they treat me badly.

I show them forbearance and they treat me with brutality.'

The Prophet replied,

'If you are as you say you are,

then it is as if you have smeared their faces with dust.

And you will always have God's help against them

so as long as you continue to be well behaved towards them.'

-The uncle of a person is like the father.
