Maintain Cordial Relations

But Do Not Reside Close to Each Other

Amirul Momineen (a.s.) writes a letter to one of his officers, "Order the relatives to visit each other but ask them not to reside in the same neighbourhood."

The late Scholar, Naraqi, explains in his book, Meraj us Sadaat': "Staying next to each other breeds malice and jealousy and results in Qat-e-Rahem."

It is much easier for relatives to maintain harmony and goodwill by staying apart from each other. Proximity often results in friction and enmity.

There is a Persian proverb which says that

distance and friendship are proportionate to each other.
