Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, I have relatives I maintain ties with but they sever, I do good to them but they do evil to me, I am forbearing with them but they are ignorant toward me.” He said: “If you are as you say, it is as if 1 you feed them hot ashes, and Allah will continue supporting you against them as long as you continue thus.”
