The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: “The one who wants to attain a medium and wants to be served in my court due to which, I intercede for him on the Day of Judgement, he should serve my Ahl-e-Bayt رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم and please them.” (Barakaat-e-Aal-e-Rasool, pp. 110)

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! How fortunate is the Muslim who becomes a means of pleasing the blessed offspring of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and becomes deserving of Holy Prophet’s صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم intercession due to this very reason. Whereas, how unfortunate is the one who keeps enmity against the blessed Ahl-e-Bayt رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم and spends his entire life in the same very enmity.

Remember! The way loving Ahl-e-Bayt رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم is loving the Holy Prophet  صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, similarly, keeping enmity against the Ahl-e-Bayt رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم is keeping enmity against the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Those who keep a grudge against the Ahl-e-Bayt رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم and talk ill about them should ponder that where would they go when the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم will turn his blessed face away from them on the Day of Judgement! He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم himself has warned over keeping enmity with his Ahl-e-Bayt. In order to take heed, let’s listen to three admonitions:

1. The one who fights a war against the Ahl-e-Bayt رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم, I will fight a war against him. And the one who reconciles with them has reconciled with me. (Tirmizi, vol. 5, pp. 465, Hadees 3896]
