6. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from his father Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughīrah, from Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān Al-Bazzāz, from ‘Amr ibn Shimr, from Jābir, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir ) said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, “Those who want to hold onto the ‘firmest handhold’ (2:256) of Allāh, which He has mentioned in His Book, should love ‘Ali ibn Abī Ťālib, Ḥasan, and Ḥusain , for verily Allāh loves them on top of His Throne.”
