(مَحَبَّةُ أَهْلِ البَيْتِ سَبَبٌ لِلنَّجَاةِ)
(Love for the Household is a means of salvation)
Hadith 6183
وَعَن أبي ذرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِبَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «أَلَا إِنَّ مِثْلَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فِيكُمْ مِثْلُ سَفِينَةِ نُوحٍ مَنْ رَكِبَهَا نَجَا وَمَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهَا هلك» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد
Abu Dharr, while holding the door of the Ka'ba, told that he had heard the Prophet say, "My family among you are like Noah's ark. He who sails on it will be safe, but he who- holds back from it will perish." Ahmad transmitted it.
