The above tradition has been recorded by Ibn Abi Hatim, Ibn Jarir al-Tabari <strong>and</strong> Imam al-<br />

Suyuti in their respective books of commentaries on the authority of Hadrat Qatada (RA)<br />

that the Holy Prophet (<strong>SAWS</strong>) said:<br />

We are the members of the family whom Allah (SWT) has so purified with the tree of<br />

the Prophethood, different angels, the house of mercy <strong>and</strong> the minerals of knowledge.<br />

There is another unanimously authenticated tradition in which the Holy Messenger of<br />

Allah (<strong>SAWS</strong>) tells us specifically that <strong>His</strong> Progeny is attached to the Holy Qur’aan in<br />

the same way as the two str<strong>and</strong>s of a rope do:<br />

I am leaveing amongst you two weighty things, first is the Book of Allah <strong>and</strong> the<br />

second one is my <strong>progeny</strong>, <strong>and</strong> that is rope of Allah, which shall never separate until<br />

they meet me at Kauthar on the day of Judgement. The one who holds it fast would be<br />

on right guiadance <strong>and</strong> the one, who ab<strong>and</strong>ons it, would go astray. Behold! You shall be<br />

accountable for how you look after them behind me.<br />
