It is narrated from Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Aqil bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Abu Yazid, I love you with two kinds of love: one because of your kinship with me, and the other because I knew how much my uncle (Abu Talib) loved you."
