Whoever desires an expansion in his sustenance

Hadith of the day 

The saying you mentioned is a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), which highlights the importance of maintaining family ties. The full Hadith is:

"Whoever desires an expansion in his sustenance and age, should keep good relations with his Kith and kin."

(Sahih al-Bukhari 2067, Sahih Muslim 2557)

This Hadith emphasizes that maintaining strong and positive relationships with one’s family, or "silat ar-rahm" (the ties of kinship), can lead to blessings in one's life, including an increase in provisions and longevity. The teaching encourages Muslims to be kind, respectful, and supportive toward their family members, which in turn brings spiritual and worldly benefits.

Maintaining family ties is regarded as a highly virtuous act in Islam, and neglecting them is strongly discouraged. It not only strengthens the family unit but also creates harmony and mutual support within society.
