Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When this verse was revealed: "Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it, except love (for me) in kinship," the people said: "O Messenger of Allah! Who are these relatives of yours, love for whom is obligatory upon us?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ali, Fatimah, and their two sons (i.e. Sayyiduna Imam Hasan and Sayyiduna Imam Husayn)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it through the narration of Harb bin al-Hasan al-Tahhan from Husayn al-Ashqar from Qays bin al-Rabi'; all of them have been declared trustworthy, and a group declared them da'if (weak); the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
