Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
According to Qadi Iyad: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was informed by Allah that there would be some people who would harbor enmity towards Husayn (radi Allahu anhu), therefore he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stated in advance that, "Love for Husayn (radi Allahu anhu) is love for me, and enmity towards Husayn (radi Allahu anhu) is enmity towards me, because we are both one and the same."
2:
That is: Husayn (radi Allahu anhu) will have a very large progeny, meaning his lineage will spread greatly, to the extent that they will become tribes, and so it happened.

Commentary:
(1)
If someone invites you to a meal, accepting it is Sunnah.
(2)
It is permissible for small children to play in the street.
(3)
To express affection, holding a child and kissing his face is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
(4)
The meaning of "sibt" is grandson, but it is also applied to a tribe.
By this, the intention is to manifest the greatness of Husayn (radi Allahu anhu), that he alone possesses the dignity of an entire tribe.
Just as Allah has stated that "Ibrahim (alayhis salam) alone possessed the dignity of an entire nation." (an-Nahl: 120)
