- .... It was mentioned in the previous chapter that he said (peace be upon him and his holy progeny): "You are my brother and the father of my sons." And from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "I and Abbas were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) when Ali ibn Abi Talib entered. He greeted, and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) returned the greeting, stood up to him, embraced him, kissed him between the eyes, and seated him on his right." Abbas said: "O Messenger of Allah, do you love this?" The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) replied: "O uncle, by Allah, Allah loves him
more than I do. Indeed, Allah placed the progeny of every prophet in his loins, and He placed my progeny in the loins of this one." Abu al-Khayr al-Hakami narrated it in al-Arba'in.
