exactly like the holy Prophet's. Natural resemblance to the beloved Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  is also a blessing from Allah Almighty. If a person makes any of their deeds resemble the holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, they are forgiven. So, what can be said about the dearness of the one whom Allah has made to resemble His beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم?^[1]

Dear Islamic brothers! When the blessed Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم  saw the noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  show immense love for his Ahl al-Bayt رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم and his beloved grandsons رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا, they also treated them with love and affection due to their connection with the noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Even after the passing of the noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, they took great care of his Ahl al-Bayt رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم, especially Imam Ḥasan and Imam Ḥusayn رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا.
