Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah created His creation, and when He had finished it, the womb, got up and caught hold of Allah whereupon Allah said, "What is the matter?' On that, it said, 'I seek refuge with you from those who sever the ties of Kith and kin.' On that Allah said, 'Will you be satisfied if I bestow My favors on him who keeps your ties, and withhold My favors from him who severs your ties?' On that it said, 'Yes, O my Lord!' Then Allah said, 'That is for you.' " Abu Huraira added: If you wish, you can recite: "Would you then if you were given the authority. do mischief in the land and sever your ties of kinship. (47. 22)

It is related from Abu Hurayra that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah created creation, and when He had finished it, Kinship rose and entered the presence of the All-Merciful. Allah said to it, 'What is the matter?' It said, 'This is the station of the one who seeks refuge with You from the severance of ties of kinship.' Allah then said, 'Are you not content that I maintain connection with those who maintain your ties and I cut off those who cut you off?' It siad, 'Yes indeed, my Lord!' Then He said, 'It is like that.'" Abu Hurayra said, "Recite, if you wish, 'Is it not likely that, if you did turn away, you would cause corruption in the earth and sever your ties of kinship?' (47:22)" This is related from Abu Hurayra and then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Recite, if you wish, 'Is it not likely that..' (47:22)." Mu'awiya ibn Abi'l-Muzarrad related this and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Recite, if you wish, 'Is it not likely that..' (47:22)."
