Whoever knows me, knows me, and whoever does not know me, I am Jundub, the companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), and I am Abu Dharr al-Ghfari. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) say: 'The example of my Ahl al-Bayt among you is like Noah's Ark.
