5- You should strengthen the love of the holy household of the Prophet in other’s mind

One of the important signs of having friendship with the holy household of the Prophet (peace be upon them) is to create their love and friendship through your good speech and behavior in the mind of the people to the extent you attract the inhabitant of your location towards the holy household of the Prophet (peace be upon them) and your behavior should not cause their denouncing and hatred (may God forbid that) in the mind of the people.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said:

“May Allah have mercy on a person who create our love in the mind of the people and did not create our hatred in them”[1]

From this discussion about the impact of love, it is clear and obvious that creating an intensive love of the holy household of the Prophet (peace be upon them) in people’s mind is the biggest avenue of creating fear of Allah and faith and their abstinence from sin. Base on this the enamored of Muhammad and his family (peace be upon them) must by all means create the love and friendship of those great men in the mind of the people.
