- .... And in another narration: When Ali ibn Al-Hussein was brought as a prisoner and made to stand on the steps of Damascus, a man from the people of the House stood up and said: "Praise be to Allah who killed you, uprooted you, and cut off the horn of the tribulation." Ali replied to him, "Have you read the Quran?" He said, "Yes." Ali said, "Have you read Alif Laam Meem?" He said, "I have read the Quran but not Alif Laam Meem." Ali said, "What have you not read?" He replied, "{Say, 'I do not ask of you a reward for it except gratitude in the form of love for my near relatives'" (Quran 42:23). Ali said, "Then you do not understand it?" He replied, "No."

- .... Imam Ahmad narrated in al-Manaqib, al-Tabarani in al-Kabir, Ibn Abi Hatim in his Tafsir, and al-Hakim from the chain of al-Shafi'i and al-Wahidi in al-Wasit from Ibn Abbas, who said: When this verse was revealed, they said, "O Messenger of Allah, who are these relatives of yours whose love has become obligatory upon us?" He replied, "Ali, Fatimah, and their two sons."
- .... Al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani narrated from Hasan ibn Ali (peace be upon him) in a lengthy hadith, mentioning his statement: "I am from the Ahl al-Bayt Whom Allah, the Exalted, has made it obligatory to ally with," and he said regarding what was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him and his holy progeny): {“Say, 'I do not ask you for it any reward, except the love in kinship'”} (Surah Ash-Shura 42:23).
- .... And in another narration: "I am from the Ahl al-Bayt whom Allah has made love obligatory upon every Muslim and revealed concerning them: {“Say, 'I do not ask you for it any reward, except the love in kinship, and whoever performs a good deed, We will increase for him therein a good"”} (Surah Ash-Shura 42:23), and performing a good deed is our love, the Ahl al-Bayt.
- .... And His statement, the Almighty, {“Say, 'I do not ask you for it any reward, except the love in kinship'”} (Surah Ash-Shura 42:23), was one of the distinctions that Allah, the Exalted, granted to His Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). The messengers said to their nations: {“Say, 'Whatever reward I have asked of you is yours. My reward is only with Allah'”} (Surah Saba 34:47). It became obligatory for his nation - as Professor Maltawi says - to fulfill what Allah had commanded them concerning the reward for conveying that they must love the relatives of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) and his pure Ahl al-Bayt, and He designated it as the name of love, which is steadfastness in affection.
