The Prophet {sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam} said, “He who loves that his sustenance be expanded and his life term prolonged, should join the tie of kinship.” {Saheeh al-Bukhãri 8/11-12, no.15 and Saheeh Muslim 4/1359-1360} In the Angel’s books, both the life span and provisions increase and decrease due to specific reasons. Thus, Allâh commands the angel to write the provision and life span of one of His slaves. If the slave joins the tie of kinship, Allâh commands the angel to increase the slave’s sustenance and life term.
Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr – rahimahullaah – said: ‘For example, to say to the angel that the age of such and such person is a hundred years if he joins the tie of his kinship, and sixtyears if he severs it. In the Foreknowledge of Allâh it is known whether he will join or sever the tie of kinship, and whatever is in Allãh’s Knowledge is not subject to extension or delay. Therefore the blotting and confirming is relevant to the knowledge of the angels, but what is recorded in Ummul Kitaab is relevant to Allãh’s Knowledge, where there is absolutely no blotting.’
