Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه) narrates:
I and my father, Abbas (رضي الله عنه), were present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when Ali (رضي الله عنه) arrived.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“For the sake of Allah, no one loves me more than he (Ali) does.”
Then he said:
**“Allah placed the offspring of every prophet in his own loins, but He placed my progeny in the loins of Ali (رضي الله عنه).”
