Hazrat Anas RAA has narrated that Rasool Allah ﷺ said that if a person wants Allah Ta'alah to make his livelihood comfortable, and to grant him Barakah (that his limited income fulfils more of his needs) then he should do Silah Rehmi (صلہ رحمی). Silah Rehmi means that you look after, and financially help as much as you can, those people who are related to you in any way.
Hazrat Abdullah Ibne Omar RAA has narrated that Rasool Allah SAW said that Silah Rehmi is not just that you repay a relative's kindness, and do him a favour if he has done a favour to you. True Silah Rehmi is that if a relative has not been nice to you, does not maintain his relationship with you, does not fulfil your rights, but you still look after him and fulfil all his rights only to please Allah.
It is narrated in a Hadith in Saheeh Muslim (a book of Ahadith) that Rasool Allah SAW said that it is a high level of Silah Rehmi that a person maintains the same relationships with his father's friends, after his father's death, that he had with them in his father's life.
