Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: It was asked from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Who are the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied: "Every God-fearing person." Then he recited this verse: «إِنْ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقُونَ» "Indeed, His friends are only the God-fearing." (Al-Anfal: 34)
