You will be guided by it, find happiness through it, and be saved from the punishment of Allah on the Day of Resurrection."

616 - And Zayd ibn al-Hasan al-Mujtabā said: My father, al-Ḥasan, delivered a sermon after Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) was killed. He praised and thanked Allah and said: "O people, a man has been taken from this world tonight who was not preceded by those before him nor will be reached by those after him. My grandfather (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) used to give him his banner, and he would fight while Gabriel was on his right and Michael on his left. He would not return until Allah opened a victory for him. He left nothing on the face of the earth, whether yellow or white, except for seventy-seven dirhams that remained from his gifts, which he intended to use to buy a servant for his family." Then he said: "O people, whoever knows me, knows me, and whoever does not know me, I am al-Ḥasan ibn Ali. I am the son of the Wasi (Executor). I am the son of the Bashir (Bringer of Good News). I am the son of the Nadhir (Warner). I am the son of the Caller to Allah by His permission. I am the son of the Illuminating Lamp. I am from the Ahl al-Bayt (People of the House) in whom Gabriel was, and from whom he would ascend. I am from the Ahl al-Bayt whom Allah has purified and from whom He has removed all impurity, I am from the Ahl al-Bayt whose love Allah has made obligatory upon every Muslim." Then he continued: "And Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said to His Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny): {Say, O Muhammad, 'I do not ask you for it any reward, except for love in [my] near relatives,' and whoever performs a good deed, We will increase for him in it a good (Surah Ash-Shura 42:23)}." Al-Dualabi narrated this, and thus, performing a good deed means loving us, the Ahl al-Bayt.

This book is for the complete saint, the possessor of unveiling and miracles, the cream of the masters and the guide of the gnostics, our lord and exemplar, Mir Sayyid Ali ibn Shahab al-Hamadanil, may Allah sanctify his secrets and grant us his blessings and lights.

- .... In Jewahir al-Aqdain: Abu al-Sheikh Ibn Hibban narrated from Zadan from Ali (ra) who said: "Among us, in the Ahl al-Hamm, is a verse that only every believer will preserve." Then he recited:{ "Say, 'I do not ask of you a reward for it except for the love (mawaddah) in my near relatives (al-qurbā)" }(Surah Ash-Shura 42:23).
- .... And from Abi al-Tufayl, who said: Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) delivered a sermon to us: he recited this verse: { "And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" }(Surah Yusuf 12:38), then said: "I am the son of the bringer of good tidings; I am the son of the warner; I am the son of the one who invites to Allah by His permission; I am the son of the luminous lamp; I am the son of the one whom He sent as a mercy to the worlds; I am from the Ahl al-Bayt from whom Allah has removed uncleanness and purified them completely. I am from the Ahl al-Bayt whose love and authority Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has made obligatory." Then he recited:{ "Say, 'I do not ask of you a reward for it except for the love (mawaddah) in my near relatives (al-qurbā)" }(Surah Ash-Shura 42:23)."

- .... And it was narrated by the hafiz Jamal al-Din al-Zarandi al-Madani from Abi al-Tufayl and Ja'far ibn Hibban, and he added: He said: "I am from the Ahl al-Bayt in whom Gabriel used to descend and from whom he would ascend." In the source, it was stated that Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra) delivered a sermon to us and shortened the sermon until he said: Then he said, "Whoever knows me has known me, and whoever does not know me, I am Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad (Peace be upon him and his holy progeny)." Then he recited { "And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" }(Surah Yusuf 12:38). I am from the Ahl al-Bayt whose love Allah has made obligatory upon every Muslim, and Allah revealed concerning them:{ "Say, 'I do not ask of you a reward for it except for the love (mawaddah) in my near relatives (al-qurbā), and whoever performs a good deed, We will increase for him in it goodness'" }(Surah Ash-Shura 42:23), and performing a good deed is our love, the Ahl al-Bayt.
