Musnad Ahmad Hadith 8367

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: When Allah created the creation, the womb (rahm) stood up and held onto the leg of the Throne of the Most Merciful and said, "This is the place of one who seeks refuge from severing ties." Allah said, "Are you not pleased that I will join with the one who joins you, and I will sever from the one who severs you?" If you wish, you may recite this verse for its confirmation: "Would you then, if you were given authority, spread corruption in the land and sever your ties of kinship? Those are the ones whom Allah has cursed, so He made them deaf and blinded their sight. Do they not then reflect on the Qur'an, or are there locks upon their hearts?"
