بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ

“Firmest handle” (2:256).

of Allah, which He has mentioned in Quran, should love Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Hasan and Husayn ('a), for indeed, the Almighty Allah loves them from His Throne.

Tradition 10: Allah's Messenger (S) said: Hold on to this Anza'man (whose hair spill on the two sides of his forehead). Indeed, he is the greatest truthful one and is the guide of those who follow him. Those who precede him have apostatized from the religion of Allah. Allah will destroy those who disappoint him. Those who adhere to him adhere to the “rope of Allah”. Allah guides those who accept his Wilayat and leads astray those who forsake it. Hasan and Husayn ('a), the two chiefs of my Ummah, are from Ali ('a) and they are my sons. The Imams of guidance and Mahdi, the Qa’im ('a), are all from the children of Husayn ('a). Hence love them and follow them. Do not take their enemies as friends or choose them as leaders above them, for if you do, the wrath of Allah will befall you and you will be disgraced in this world,

..وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَىٰ

“And he who forges (a lie) indeed, fails to attain (his desire)” (20:61).

Tradition 13: Imam Al-Kadhim ('a) said: Allah's Messenger (S) held the hands of Hasan and Husayn ('a) and said, “Those who love these two boys and love their father and mother will be with me in my station on Judgment Day.
