Cintailah Ahlul Bait

(HR At Thabrani. Al Baihaqi. DLL) Rasulullah SAW bersabda : ﺇﻧﻰ ﺗﺎﺭﻙ ﻓﻴﻜﻢ ﺧﻠﻴﻔﺘﻴﻦ : ﻛﺘﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﻠّﻪ ﺣﺒﻞ ﻣﻤﺪﻭﺩ ﻣﺎﺑﻴﻦ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﻭﻋﺘﺮﺗﻰ ﺍﻫﻞ ﻭﺇﻧﻬﻤﺎ ﻟﻦ ﻳﻔﺘﺮﻗﺎ ﺣﺘّﻰ ﻳﺮﺩﺍ ﻋﻠﻲّ ﺍﻟﺤﻮﺽ . ( ﺭﻭﺍﻩ ﺃﺣﻤﺪ، ﺍﻟﺒﺨﺎﺭﻯ ﻭ ﻣﺴﻠﻢ ) “Aku tinggalkan bagi kalian dua perkara : Kitabullah. yang merupakan tali antara langit dan bumi dan Keturunanku (Ahlul Baitku : yakni para Habaib & para Syarifah); Sesungguhnya keduanya itu tidak akan berpisah hingga kembali kepadaku di Telaga Haudh.” (HR. Imam Ahmad, Bukhari dan Muslim) Rasulullah SAW bersabda : ﺍﻻ ﺍﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻨّﺎﺱ ﺇﻧﻤﺎ ﺍﻧﺎ ﺑﺸﺮ ﻳﻮﺷﻚ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺄ ﺗﻲ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠّﻪ ﺭﺑّﻰ ﻓﺄﺟﻴﺐ ...
