Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “A man from the Khasa'em tribe went to see the Prophet of God (a.s) and said: “O' Prophet of God! Please tell me what is the noblest form of submission to God?” He replied: “Faith in God.” Then he asked: “What is next?” The Prophet replied: “Visiting the relations of kin.” Then he asked: “What is next?” The Prophet replied: “Enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong.” The man asked: “What is the most despised act near God?” He said: “Being an infidel.” He asked: “What is the next worst thing?” He said: “Cutting off relations of kin.” He asked: “What is next?” He replied: “Enjoining the wrong and forbidding the right.”
وقال (عليه السلام) أيضا: جاء رجل من خثعم إلى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) فقال: يا رسول الله، أخبرني ما أفضل الإسلام؟ قال: الإيمان بالله، قال: ثم ماذا؟ قال: صلة الرحم، قال: ثم ماذا؟ قال: الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر، قال: فقال الرجل: أي الأعمال أبغض إلى الله عز وجل؟ قال: الشرك بالله، قال: ثم ماذا؟ قال: قطيعة الرحم، قال: ثم ماذا؟ قال: الأمر بالمنكر والنهي عن المعروف.
