Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said:
Allah has created Paradise, purified it, and made it fragrant. Its fragrance is felt at a distance of two thousand years (of travel). But the one who disobeys his parents or breaks ties with the kin will be so far away from Paradise that (s)he will not even experience its fragrance."
(Bihar al-Anwar)
