He -asws said: ‘How did you see the hastening of the people to this matter and their entering in it to be?’ He said, ‘By Allah -azwj , they are few, and they have done it but that is little’.

He -asws said: ‘It is on you to (approach) the juveniles for they are quick to every good’. Then he -asws said: ‘What are the people of Al-Basra saying regarding this Verse: ‘[42:23] Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for People -asws of the Household” . I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws , they are saying that it is for the near relatives of the Rasool -saww of Allah -azwj ’. He -asws said: ‘They lie.

But rather it Descended with regards to us -asws especially, regarding the People -asws of the Household, regarding Ali -asws , and Fatima -asws , and Al-Hassan -asws , and Al-Husayn -asws the ones of the Cloak (As’haab Al-Kisaa)’.
