, His Command to Love Them, and the Reward for Loving Them4 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ نَسِيتُ اسْمَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ مُهَلْهَلٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيِّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (ص) يُقَبِّلُ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَحَبَّ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) وَ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمَا مُخْلِصاً لَمْ تَلْفَحِ النَّارُ وَجْهَهُ وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ بِعَدَدِ رَمْلِ عَالِجٍ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَنْبُهُ ذَنْباً يُخْرِجُهُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ
4. My father narrated to me from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari, from one of our companions – whose name he forgot, from ‘Ubaydillāh ibn Mūsā, from Muhalhal Al-‘Abdi, from Abī Hārūn Al-‘Abdi, from Rabī’ah Al-Sa’di, from Abī Dhar Al-Ghifāri, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ kiss Ḥasan and Ḥusain and say: The fire will not touch the face of those who are sincere in their love for Ḥasan and Ḥusain and their progeny, even if their sins are equal to the number of (grains of) sand, unless they have committed a sin that expels them from the faith.
