So I am the root of that tree and is its branches and Hasan and Husain are its fruits and our Shias are its leaves. So whoever will hold any of its braches will get salvation and whoever rejects them would be destroyed and caught in the chastisement of Allah. If one engages in worship for a thousand years between Safa and Marwah until one breaks down, but without our love and affection in his heart, Allah will hurl one into Hell, face down.

The first is that the exception (illa) is disconnected; meaning this Mawaddat is because of Islam. Another statement is that the exception is continual which means I require no wages from you except Mawaddat because I am happy only with it and only you will be benefited by this Mawaddat. In others words, I have not wished from you any wages for myself.

Abu Hamza Thumali has, in his commentary narrated from Ibne Abbas that when the Holy Prophet (S) arrived in Medina and Islam was established firmly and when the Ansars jointly decided to see the Holy Prophet (S) to tell him that: As your expenses are on the increase we are putting our wealth at your disposal so that you may utilize it as you please. You will not have to keep any account of it nor is there any restriction for you.

When they put forth this proposal respectfully, this verse was revealed to the Holy Prophet (S): Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives. (Sura Shuraa 42:23) The Holy Prophet (S) read it out to them and said: You should, after my departure be friendly, that is not inimical with these people nor should you harm or harass them. Then they returned from the Holy Prophet (S) giving him a promise of obedience.

At that time the hypocrites said: Muhammad has fabricated this verse because he wants to degrade us by making us obey his near relatives.
