of Muhammad, will arrive on the Day of Judgment while it
is printed on his forehead that he is desperate from the
Mercy of Allah.
Behold! He who dies with the hate of the family of
Muhammad, has died an unbeliever.
And verily! He who dies with the hate of the family of
Muhammad, will never smell the fragrance of Paradise. 15
