Hadith 342342 - بِهذَا الإسناد عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِي طالِب عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُقالَ: قالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: يا عَلِيِّ خلق النَّاس من شجر شتى وَخلقت أَنَا وَأَنْتَ من شَجَرَة واحِدة أَنَا أصلها وَأَنْتَ فرعها وَالحَسَن والحُسَيْن أغصانها وَشِيعَتِنَا أوراقها فَمَنْ تعلق بغصن من أغصانها أَدْخِلْهُ اللَّه الجَنَّة.
31-342 According to the same documentation on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.), God’s Prophet (S) said, “O Ali! People have been created from different trees, but you and I have been created from the same tree. I am the root and you are the trunk. Al-Hassan and Al-Husayn are its branches. The Shiites are the leafs. God will take to Paradise whoever grabs onto any of the branches!”
