(Of such people is) A man who has supported my offspring, one who has spent his property for my offspring in difficult times, a man who loves my offspring by his tongue and heart, and a man who strives hard to meet the needs of my offspring when they are driven away or expelled.’” رسل - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (6/191))
