Ali bin Husayn (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), that he used to say: Love us with the love of Islam, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not raise me above my due, for Allah Almighty took me as a servant before He took me as a Messenger."
