Hadith 121

(The book) ‘Al-Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – from a group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Zakariya, from Shueyb Bin Abbad Bin Suheyb, from his father, ‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah‑saww having said: ‘I-saww am the tree, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws is its branches, and Ali-asws is its trunk, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws are its fruits, and the twigs of the tree go to its base. So whichever man were to adhere with a twig from its twigs, Allah-azwj will Enter him into the Paradise due to His-azwj Mercy’. It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! We have recognised the tree, and its branches. So who are its twigs? ’ He-saww said: ‘My-saww family-asws. There is none from a servant loving us-asws, People-asws of the Household and conducts with our-asws conducts and reckons his own self before he is Reckoned with, except Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Enter him into the Paradise’’.
