17. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘We do not know of anything that may increase one’s lifespan like maintaining good relations with relatives does. It is so much so that a man’s life span may have only three years been left, but he maintains good relations with relatives, Allah will increase his lifespan to thirty years. The total will be thirty-three years, thus the appointed time for his death will be after thirty-three years. So, then if he severs family ties, so Allah reduces his lifespan by thirty years and sets his term to three years." Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla ibn Muhammad from al- Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from Abu al-Hassan al-Rida (a.s.) a similar Hadith.
