How important is social relations in Islam according to the Prophet of Islam (PBUH)?

If it is needed, walk for two years to do kind deeds for your father and mother; walk for one year for keeping in contact with family and relations; walk one mile to visit an ill person; walk two miles to take part in a funeral procession; walk three miles to accept the invitation of a believer; walk four miles to visit your believing brother in religion; walk five miles to help an oppressed person; walk six miles to help a person who is in a difficulty; and do not forget repentance in any condition which is the way to salvation [1]. In this narration some of the necessary good deeds in regards to social relations have been evaluated; these have been evaluated by Imam Ali (AS) on behalf of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH).
