١٣ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ خَطَّابٍ الأعْوَرِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) صِلَةُ الأرْحَامِ تُزَكِّي الأعْمَالَ وَتَدْفَعُ الْبَلْوَى وَتُنْمِي الأمْوَالَ وَتُنْسِئُ لَهُ فِي عُمُرِهِ وَتُوَسِّعُ فِي رِزْقِهِ وَتُحَبِّبُ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ فَلْيَتَّقِ الله وَلْيَصِلْ رَحِمَهُ.
13. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Khattab al-‘A’War from abu Hamza who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far  has said, ‘Maintaining good relations with relatives cleanses the deeds, repulses misfortunes, increases wealth, delays the coming of death, enlarges ones share of sustenance and brings love to the family. Therefore, one must be pious before Allah and maintain good relations with one’s relatives.’”
