, His Command to Love Them, and the Reward for Loving Them11 حَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ بِالرَّيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خَيْثَمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) حُسَيْنٌ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْ حُسَيْنٍ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ مَنْ أَحَبَّ حُسَيْناً حُسَيْنٌ سِبْطٌ مِنَ الْأَسْبَاطِ
11. Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali Al-Za’farāni narrated to me in the city of Ray, from Yaḥyā ibn Sulaymān, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Uthmān ibn Khaytham, from Sa’īd ibn Abī Rāshid, from Ya’lā ibn Murrah, who said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: Ḥusain is from me and I am from Ḥusain . Allāh loves those who love Ḥusain . Ḥusain is a chief from among the chiefs.
