Abu Hurayra did not like to make supplications in gathering where those who broke ties of kinship were present
On one Thursday night gathering, Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه said,”I urge everyone who has broken ties of kinship to get up and leave us.” No one got up until he had said this three times. Then a young man got up and went to see a (paternal) aunt of his who he had forsaken for two years. When he entered, she said,” O son of my brother, what brings you here?” He said,” I heard Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه say such and such.” She told him,” Go back to him and ask him why he said that.” Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه said, “I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم say:
The deeds of the sons of Adam are shown to Allah every Thursday evening, night preceding Friday, and the deeds of one who break the ties of kinship are not accepted.
