It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We would pass by a group of Quraysh while they were talking among themselves, and (on seeing us) they would stop their conversation. We mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is the matter with people that when they see someone from my household, they break off their conversation?! By Allah, faith will not enter a man's heart until he loves them (my household) for the sake of Allah and because of my kinship." This hadith is also well known through the chain of Yazid bin Abi Ziyad, and since a supporting narration (shahid) for it has been found in this narration of Ibn Fudayl from al-A'mash, we have judged it to be authentic.
