Loving the Prophet’s Family – A demand of
faith
There is a Hadith in Jame’ Tirmidhi:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of
Hadhrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas (May Allah be well
pleased with them), he says: The Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Love Allah
because He blessed you with His bounties. For
the love of Allah, love me and for my love, love
my family. (Jame’ Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 3722)
The grace and benevolence of Allah Most High
demands that we should love Him. To be able to
love Allah Most High, we should love the Holy
Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and to be
able to love the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam), the Family of the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) should be loved.
It is as if the love of the Prophet’s Family is a
step towards the love of the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). If anybody desires
proximity and closeness of Allah Most High and
wants to be enter His presence, the only way for
this is to love the Prophet's Family. This love
will grant closeness to the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and through the
proximity of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam), that person will attain proximity of
Allah.
There is a Hadith in Sunan Ibn Majah and Jame
Tirmidhi.
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)
said: By Him who holds my life in His hands,
faith cannot even enter the heart of the person,
who does not love you (The Prophet’s Family)
for the sake of Allah Most High and their
relationship with me. (Jame’ Tirmidhi, 3691;
Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith No. 137)
There is a Hadith in Mo’jam Kabeer Tabarani and
Baihaqui:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of
Hadhrat Abdur Rahmaan bin Abu Laila (May
Allah be well pleased with him) who narrates on
the authority of his father that the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: No one can be
a true believer unless I am more beloved to him
(or her) than his own life, my Family is more
beloved than his own family and my progeny
become more beloved than his own progeny and
I become more beloved to him that his own self.
