Ibne Adi mentions in his book from Abu Saeed Khudri that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said: “One who hates us, the Ahle Bayt, is a hypocrite.”1

Ibne Hayyan records in his Sahih and Hakim has also quoted Abu Saeed that the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said: “By the one who controls my life! Whoever hates us, Ahle Bayt (a.s.), will made to enter the fire (of Hell) by Allah.”2

Tibrani mentions that Al-Hasan ibne Ali (a.s.) told Moawiya ibne Khudij: “I warn you against hating us, for surely the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) has said: “None hates us and none envies us except that he will be chased away from the Hauz (Pool) by maces of fire.”3

Ibn Adi mentions and Baihaqi in his book Shuayb Al-Imaan relates from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) thus: “One who is not cognizant of my progeny and the Ansar belongs to one of the three groups: Either he is a hypocrite, or an illegitimate born or he was conceived when his mother was menstruating.”4

Tibrani writes in his book Al-Awsat that Ibne Umar remarked: “The last words of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) were, ‘You have ignored my successors who are from my Ahle Bayt.’ (that is, I can see how you behave with the trusts that I leave behind among you).”5

Tibrani also mentions the following tradition in his book Al-Awsat. Imam Hasan ibne Ali (a.s.) reports from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) that he said: “Strive hard to achieve love and affection of us Ahle Bayt, and considers it as obligatory for yourselves, always. The truth is that whoever meets Allah while he loves us will enter Paradise through my intercession. By the One who controls my life! No deed can benefit a servant if he does not recognize our rights.”6
