٣٠٨. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): مَوَدَّةُ الْآبَاءِ قَرَابَةٌ بَيْنَ الْأَبْنَاءِ، وَالْقَرَابَةُ إِلَى الْمَوَدَّةِ أَحْوَجُ مِنَ الْمَوَدَّةِ إِلَى الْقَرَابَةِ.

308. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: Mutual affection between fathers creates a relationship between the sons. Relationship is more in need of affection than affection is of relationship.

308. L’amour des parents se traduit par les liens de parenté entre les enfants. La consanguinité a besoin d’amour plus que celui-ci en a besoin.
