I participated with my sword with the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the path of Allah Almighty even at the time when (Sayyiduna) Hasan and Husayn (رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا) were young Madani children. Despite this, you have given to me 500 dirhams and to them 1000 dirhams each.’ Upon hearing this, being overwhelmed by the devotion to Ahl-e-Bayt رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُم, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said whilst being engrossed in their love, ‘Yes, absolutely! (If you want me to give you the share equal to them) then go and first bring a father like the father of Hasnayn Karimayn, mother like their mother, [maternal] grandfather like their [maternal] grandfather, [maternal] grandmother like theirs, [paternal] uncle like theirs, and [maternal] uncle like theirs; and you can never do this because ‘اَبُوۡهُمَا فَعَلِيُّ الۡمُرۡتَضٰى’ their father is Sayyiduna ‘Aliکَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم, ‘اُمُّهُمَا فَفَاطِمَةُ الزَّهۡرَاء’ Sayyidatuna Fatima-tuz-Zahra رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا is their mother, ‘جَدُّهُمَا مُحَمَّدُ_نِ الۡمُصۡطَفٰي’ Muhammad صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is their [maternal] grandfather, ‘جَدَّتُهُمَا خَدِيۡجَةُ الۡكُبۡرٰى’ Sayyidatuna Khadija-tul-Kubra رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا is their [maternal] grandmother; ‘عَمُّهُمَا جَعۡفَرُ بۡنُ اَبِيۡ طَالِبٍ’ Sayyiduna Ja’far Bin Abi Taalib is their [paternal] uncle; ‘خَالُهُمَا اِبۡرَاهِيۡمُ بۡنُ رَسُوۡلِ اللّٰهِ’ Sayyiduna Ibraheem (رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ) Bin Rasoolullah (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) is their [maternal] uncle,‘خَالَتَاهُمَا رُقَيَّةُ وَ اُمُّ كُلۡثُوۡمٍ اِبۡنَتَا رَسُوۡلِ اللّٰهِ’ and the daughters of Rasoolullah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم , Sayyidah Ruqayyah and Sayyidah Umm-e-Kulsoom رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا, are their [maternal] aunts.
