a while, when he was in a more stable condition, the people described to him how his complexion had changed due to the severity of his illness. Timur Lang said, “I saw the angels of punishment; they were coming towards me. Upon seeing them, I was overcome with sorrow, which caused my face to become gloomy. Then, the Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came and said to the angels, ‘Leave him because he loves my family.’ The angels returned after hearing this.”

ꜤAllāmah Yūsuf bin IsmāꜤīl Nabhānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه writes:

After Timur Lang passed away, someone saw the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in a dream with Timur Lang sat next to him. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said to the one seeing the dream, “O Muḥammad bin Ḥasan! Timur loves my family.”^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Purity of the Ahl al Bayt

Dear Islamic brothers, the blessed family of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم—meaning the Ahl al-Bayt—are of esteemed rank and greatness. Allah Almighty states:

اِنَّمَا یُرِیْدُ اللّٰہُ  لِیُذْہِبَ عَنْکُمُ الرِّجْسَ اَہْلَ الْبَیْتِ وَ یُطَہِّرَکُمْ  تَطْہِیْرًا (۳۳)

“Allah only wants to remove every impurity from you, O family of the Prophet, and to purify you completely.”^[2]
