لكل شيء أس، وأس الإيمان الورع، ولكل شيء فرع، وفرع الإيمان الصبر، ولكل شيء سنام، وسنام هذه الأمة عمي العباس، ولكل شيء سبط، وسبط هذه الأمة حبيباي الحسن والحسين، ولكل شيء جناح، وجناح هذه الأمة أبو بكر وعمر، ولكل شيء مجن، ومجن هذه الأمة علي بن أبي طالب.
Everything has a foundation, and the foundation of iman (faith) is filial god- consciousness. Everything has a branch, and the branch of iman is patience. Everything has a pinnacle, and the pinnacle of this Ummah is my uncle, al ‘Abbas. Everyone has grandchildren, and the grandchildren of this Ummah are my two beloveds, al Hassan and al Hussain. Everything has a wing, and the wing of this Ummah is Abu Bakr and ‘Umar. Everything has a shield, and the shield of this Ummah is ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib.
Al Khatib narrates this hadith — from Ibrahim ibn al Hakam ibn Zuhayr — from his father — from ‘Ataʾ ibn Abi Rabah — from Ibn ‘Abbas who said, “The Messenger of Allah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said…”[1]
Al Hakam ibn Zuhayr and his son, Ibrahim, are both kadhdhabs (liars).
Al Suyuti mentions this hadith in his work on fabrications.[2] Ibn ‘Iraq and al Albani followed suit and mention it in their respective work on fabrications.[3]
[1] Al Khatib: al Muttafiq wa al Muftariq, 3/968.
[2] Al Suyuti: al Ziyadat ‘ala al Mawdu’at, 1/227.
