Dailami from the Ahle Sunnat traditionists in Firdausul Akhbar has narrated a tradition that Allah has five most celebrated respects (i) Respect for the Holy Prophet (S) (ii) Respect for the Ahlul Bayt of the Prophet (a.s.) (iii) Respect for the book of Allah (iv) Respect for Ka’ba and (v) Respect of the believer.

Ibne Mahyar from authentic chains has related from Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.) and he quotes his respected father that: ‘And whoever respects the sanctified ordinances of Allah’ refers to three venerated objects and their respect is obligatory on everyone and whoever leaves even one of them, has associated someone or something with Allah.

First is the respect of the Ka’ba which is made respectful by Allah, second rendering ineffective the book of Allah and acting against it and thirdly to severe our love and obedience which was made incumbent by Allah.[^1] [^1]: The writer says: From this verse and from authentic traditions from Shias and Ahle Sunnat it is apparent that to respect the Prophet (s.a.) and the Guiding Imams (a.s.) in their lifetime or after their passing away is obligatory.

In the same way it is obligatory to accord respect to all those things that are associated with them like their Mausoleums and their tomb enclosures (Zarih), their relics, sayings, descendants and the Sayyids who follows their way and the narrators of their traditions and the scholars of their sciences, because their respect is due to the respect of those noble personages.
