Ahlulbayt (a.s.): Ark of Noah (as)

Holy Prophet (sawa):

"My family among you is like Noah's (as) ark. He who sails in it will be safe, but he who holds back from it will perish."

مَثَلُ اَهلِ بَيتِى فِيكُم مَثَلَ سَفِينَةِ نُوحٍ مَن رَكِبَهَا نَجى وَ مَن تَخَلَّفَ عَنهَا هَلَكَ

- Ahqaaqul Haq, V.9, al-Ghadeer, V.2 -

Ahlulbaait (a.s.): Rope of Allah (swt)

...from Jaaber, Imam Baqir (a.s.) said: The  Progeny  of  Muhammad  (sawa) are the rope of Allah (swt), for whom Allah (swt) has ordered to fasten unto by saying,

“And hold fast to the Rope of Allah and do not separate.”

Quran-3:103

عن جابر عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: آل محمد عليهم السلام هم حبل الله الذي أمرنا بالاعتصام به، فقال:

 " واعتصموا بحبل الله جميعا ولا تفرقوا".

- Tafseer Ayyaashi, V.1, p.194 -

Imam as-Sadiq (a.s.)

حَقَّ الْقَولُ مِنِّى لَاُ كرِ مَنَّ مَثوَى جَعفَرٍ وَ لَاَ سُرَّ نَّهُ فِى اَشيَاعِهِ وَ اَنصَارِه وَاَو لِيَآ ئِهِ

IT IS MY TRUE SAYING  (PROMISE) THAT I  WILL MAKE  HONOURABLE THE  POSITION OF JA’FAR AND WILL MAKE HIME GLAD WITH REGARDS TO HIS FOLLOWERS,  COMPANIONS  AND  FRIENDS.

 -Hadees-e-Lauh, al-Kafi, v.1, p.528 -

17th Rabi al-Awwal - Wiladat of Holy Prophet (sawa) & Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (as)

Ziyarat-e-Ashura

اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَوَّلَ ظَالِمٍ ظَلَمَ حَقَّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آخِرَ تَابِعٍ لَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْعِصَابَةَ الَّتِي (الَّذِينَ) جَاهَدَتِ الْحُسَيْنَ وَ شَايَعَتْ وَ بَايَعَت وَ تَابَعَتْ(تَايَعَتْ) عَلَى قَتْلِهِ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُمْ جَمِيعاً

O my Allah condemn and damn the first tyrant who unjustly and wrongfully usurped that which rightly belonged to Muhammad and the children of Muhammad, and bring curse upon those who, after him, followed in his footsteps.

O my Allah condemn and damn those conspirators who vexed and harassed Husain, showed eagerness, agreed mutually, and joined hands to kill him. O my Allah bring curse upon all of them.
