Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am leaving among you two things, one greater than the other: one is the Book of Allah, which is Allah’s long rope stretched from the sky to the earth, and the other is my family, my household. These two will never separate until they meet me at the Pond."
