Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“The example of my Ahl al-Bayt is like the Ark of Noah; whoever boarded it was saved, and whoever remained behind was drowned. And the example of my Ahl al-Bayt among you is like the Gate of Hittah among the Children of Israel; whoever entered it had his sins forgiven.”
