Allah Almighty said:

"So give the relative his right, as well as the needy and the traveler."

On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn Salam (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
0:31
When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) arrived in Medina,
0:36
the people rushed toward him, and it was announced,
0:40
"The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has arrived!"
0:44
So I came along with the people to look at him.
0:47
When I clearly saw the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him),
0:52
I knew that his face was not the face of a liar.

The very first thing he said was:
1:01
"O people, spread peace,
1:05
provide food,
1:07
and pray while people are asleep,
1:10
and you will enter Paradise in peace."

In the very first words spoken by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in Medina,
1:24
the newly formed Muslim society,
1:27
he emphasized maintaining family ties,
1:30
to reassure people's hearts that the religion to which he was calling them
1:35
is one that preaches the joining of kinship ties.
1:38
It does not divide a man from his wife,
1:41
nor a father from his children,
1:44
as had been rumored about him.
1:46
Rather, it commands its followers to treat their relatives with kindness and filial piety,
1:50
even if they are polytheists.
1:52
What mercy this is!
