The Source of Traditions on Imam al-Riḍā (Vol 2) · Hadith 342 (#Ḥadīth #342)

342 - بِهذَا الإسناد عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِي طالِب a.sُقالَ: قالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: يا عَلِيِّ خلق النَّاس من شجر شتى وَخلقت أَنَا وَأَنْتَ من شَجَرَة واحِدة أَنَا أصلها وَأَنْتَ فرعها وَالحَسَن والحُسَيْن أغصانها وَشِيعَتِنَا أوراقها فَمَنْ تعلق بغصن من أغصانها أَدْخِلْهُ اللَّه الجَنَّة.

31-342 According to the same documentation on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Talib , God’s Prophet (S) said, “O Ali! People have been created from different trees, but you and I have been created from the same tree. I am the root and you are the trunk. Al-Hassan and Al-Husayn are its branches. The Shiites are the leafs. God will take to Paradise whoever grabs onto any of the branches!”
