Aal e Nabi Ke Fazail

Book Name:Aal e Nabi Ke Fazail

Ahl al-Bayt is such that their pure lineage is that blessed and strong rope that will never break. This lineage exists in this world, will exist in the grave, on the Plain of Resurrection, at the Scales, on the Ṣirāṭ Bridge; it will be beneficial everywhere.

Accordingly, it is narrated:

One day, someone said to the paternal aunt of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, Sayyidah afiyyah رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا, "The kinship with the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  will not benefit you in the court of Allah Almighty." When the noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came to know of this, a state of majesty came upon him   صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and he said to Sayyidunā Bilal رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, "O Bilal! Gather the people!" Then the noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  sat upon the pulpit, praised Allah Almighty, and said, "What is the matter with those people who assume that my relationship will not benefit? On the Day of Judgement, every familial and marital relationship will break, except mine, for it remains connected in this world and the Hereafter".[1]

Imam Ibn ꜤĀbidīn al-Shāmī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه  states:

Similar Aḥādīth with almost the same words are narrated through several chains, and there are many others that prove that the pure lineage of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, will certainly benefit his offspring. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه  ! They will depart from this world in a good state and attain salvation in the Hereafter.

Indeed, the pure offspring of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم are greatly blessed in this world and the Hereafter.[2]
