Maʿānī al-ʾAkhbār 1, narration 111

Translation

1. We were told by Hasan bin Abdullah bin Sa’eed al-Askari, that he said: We were informed by Muhammed bin Ahmad bin Hamdan al-Qushayri, that he said: We were told by Mughaira bin Muhammed bin Muhlib, that he said: I was told by my father, that he said: I was told by Abdullah ibn Dawud, from Fudayl bin Manzuq, from ‘Atiya al-‘Awfi, from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri, that he said: The Messenger of Allah (sw), said: Indeed, I have leaving among you Two Things, one of them is longer than the other: The Book of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, a Rope extended from Heaven to earth, one side in the Hand of Allah; and my Family. Alas, they are, indeed, never to be separated until they approach me at the basin. Then I said to Abu Sa’eed: Who are his Family? He said: His Household.
