Hadith 233233 - وَبِإِسْنادِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قالَ: قالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّىاللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: خُلِقَت يا عَلِيُّ مِن شَجَرَةٍ خُلِقَت مِنْها، أَنَا أَصلُها وَأَنْتَ فَرعُها وَالحُسَيْن وَالحَسَن أَغصانُها وَمُحِبُّونا وَرَقُها، فَمَنْ تَعَلَّقَ بِشَيءٍ مِنْها أَدخَلَهُ اللَّه عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الجَنَّة.
31-233 According to the same documentation, on the authority of Ali (a.s.), God’s Prophet (S) said, “O Ali! God created you from the tree of which I am the root, and you are the trunk. Al-Hassan and Al-Husayn are its branches. Those who love us are the leafs. The Honorable the Exalted God will take to Paradise whoever grabs onto any of the branches!”
