Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #60
Ties of Kinship
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ بَحِيرٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُوصِيكُمْ بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ، ثُمَّ يُوصِيكُمْ بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ، ثُمَّ يُوصِيكُمْ بِآبَائِكُمْ، ثُمَّ يُوصِيكُمْ بِالأَقْرَبِ فَالأَقْرَبِ.
It is reported that al-Miqdam ibn Ma'dikarib heard the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "Allah enjoins you to be dutiful
to your mothers. Then He enjoins you to be dutiful to your mothers. Then
He enjoins you to be dutiful to your fathers. Then He enjoins you to be dutiful
to your next closest relative and then to your next closest relative."
