2. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, from Muhammed ibn Ahmad, from Ibrahim bin Ishaq, from Muhammed bin Sulayman al-Daylami, from his father, that he said:

I said to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him: May I be sacrificed for you. Who are the Aal? He said: The offspring of Muhammed, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family. He said: Then I said: And who are the Ahl? He said: The Imams, peace be upon them. So I said: The saying of Him, Exalted and Glorious is He: «Enter, (O) Family of Pharao, into the most severe punishment» (40:46) He said: By Allah, he did not mean other than his daughter.
