Pearl of Wisdom
'Verily I leave behind among you the two weighty things, which as long as you continue to adhere to, you will never go astray after me, and one of which is greater than the other. The Book of Allah is the rope stretched from the heavens to the earth, and my progeny, my household. Behold, verily they will never separate from each other until they meet me at the Heavenly Waters.'
Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa] Bihar al-Anwar, v. 23, p. 106, no. 7
