I am looking for this Hadith with this particular wording:
صل من قطعك واعف عمّن ظلمك واحسن الي من أساء اليك
Translation: Join ties with those who cut off ties with you, pardon those who oppress you and be good to those who evil to you.
Answer:
I have not come across these words as one Hadith in any primary Hadith source. This seems to be a combination of the following Hadiths:
1) Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “O ‘Uqbah! Join ties with those who cut off ties with you, give those who deprive you, and turn away from those who oppress you”
Arabic text:
يا عقبة صل من قطعك وأعط من حرمك وأعرض عمن ظلمك
(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 4 pg. 148)
2) Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “O ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amir! Join ties with those who cut off ties with you, give those who deprive you, and forgive those who oppress you”
Arabic text:
يا عقبة بن عامر صل من قطعك وأعط من حرمك واعف عمن ظلمك
(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 4 pg. 148)
3) Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Join ties with those who sever ties with you, do good to those who harm you and speak the truth even it is against you”
Arabic text:
صل من قطعك وأحسن إلى من أساء إليك وقل الحق ولو على نفسك
(Juz’ of Abu ‘Ali ibn Shadhan, Refer: At Talkhisul Habir, vol. 4 pg. 1897)
4) Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Join ties with those who cut off ties with you and pardon those who oppress you”
Arabic text:
صل من قطعك واعف عمن ظلمك
(Shu’abul Iman, Hadith: 7585)
Also see: Targhib, vol. 3 pg. 307/308 and Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 8 pg 188
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
