“A man said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, my relatives are such that I have associated with them but they sever, I am kind to them but they ill-treat me, I am patient but they are rude.’ He replied, ‘If it is as you have said, you are feeding them hot ash as long as you continue and you will always have Allah to help you against them.’"
