CHAPTER 16
SURAH SHURA SURAH SHURA 23"SAY: I DO NOT ASK OFYOU ANY REWARD FOR IT BUT LOVE FOR MY NEAR RELATIVES"Hanafi scholar Hakimi Haskani has quoted, Ibn-e-Abbas as saying, 'When this verse came down people
asked, '0' Prophet of God, who are these people that the order of Love has been given
by God?'The Holy Prophet replied
"ALI,
FATIMA, and both their SONS
ALI, FATIMA, and both their SONS
ALI, FATIMA, and both their SONS." He repeated this sentence thrice. (SHAWAHID-UT-TANZEEL
Vol 2 page 132)AUTHOR: It Should be borne in mind that Imam Mahdi (AS.) is from the
progeny of Ali (AS) and Fatima (A.S).
Hence this verse applies to Mahdi (AS.) also. and he too
is among the people in whose praise this verse came down.
