"By the One God! Verily my blood ties are firmly kept in this life and the hereafter." [Ahmad, Abu Ya'la & al-Hakim].
Cling to the sanctuary; endear yourself by serving them;
For on the Day of Resurrection they're overlords.
Care not for naysayers-people of perdition.
For the Envoy never demanded wages for guidance
When he conveyed; only affectionate love for the near kin.
