The Reward of Silet ar-Rahm
The reward for Silet ar-Rahm has been described by the Holy Prophet (S) in one of his traditions. He says:
“When a person goes towards his relatives so that he can fulfill his rights with his life and his wealth, Allah bestows upon him the reward of a martyr at every step he takes. He (Allah) writes down forty thousand Hasana (the unit of Divine rewards) and He erases forty thousand of his sins and He elevates him by forty thousand grades. The person achieves the position of one who has worshipped Allah for a hundred years.”
(BihÄr al-AnwÄr)
At another place the Holy Prophet (S) says, regarding the rewards for Silet ar-Rahm:
“The reward for Sadaqah in the way of Allah is ten times, whereas the reward for giving a loan is twelve times (because in giving a loan the dignity of the Loanee is maintained). The reward for the good behaviour to the believing brothers is twelve times and the reward for Silet ar-Rahm is twenty four times.”
(BihÄr al-AnwÄr)
