Abstract

Although many Islamic narrations have emphasized the love of Ahl al-Bayt (prophetic household) and expressed its results and yields as well, however, the superficial look at the meaning of some of which may lead to ibāḥa (religious libertinism). One of these narrations, to which the present article is devoted, says "Ḥubbu ʿAlī b. Abī-Ṭālib Ḥasanatun lā Taḍurru Maʿahā Sayyiʾa wa bughḍuhu Sayyiʾatu lā Tanfaʿu Maʿahā Ḥasana". According to this narration, the love of ʿAlī (PBUH) is a good deed that any bad deed does not harm with it at all, and his hatred is a bad deed that any good deed does not benefit with it at all. Taking a descriptive-analytical approach, the present article seeks to deliver a valid reception from the mentioned narrative. The result of the research is that true religious love requires entirely religious obedience. The reliable understanding of the narration is that the word sayyiʾa (evil) in it is about to mean “small sins”. Thus, the love of ʿAlī (PBUH) only causes the forgiveness of these monor ones, God Willing. Of course, it seems that there is another valid interpretation, according to which, ʿAlī’s friendship is a good deed that no sin can make ineffective, because every kind of complete faith is achieved through the love of Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT).
