كل سبب ونسب

Every bond and every lineage will be severed on the Day of Resurrection except that which serves as a means of connecting us to the beautiful example through following him ﷺ:

“Indeed, in the Messenger of God you have an excellent example for whoever hopes for God and the Last Day and remembers God often.”
(Qur’an 33:21)

Thus, every means that connects us to the Messenger of God ﷺ—through obedience to him, establishing his Sunnah within ourselves, and implementing his law in our lives—will remain connected on the Day of Resurrection. Likewise, every lineage connected to the Prophet of God ﷺ is itself a sign among the signs affirming the religion. It is not the only sign, for the signs are many, but the lineage of the Messenger of God ﷺ has confirmed the truth of the Qur’an:

“Indeed, We have granted you al-Kawthar. So pray to your Lord and sacrifice. Indeed, your hater—he is the one cut off.”
(Qur’an 108:1–3)

His progeny became numerous, and God showed us that He was capable of annihilating them completely so that none would remain.

The male children of the Prophet ﷺ passed away during his lifetime. Lady Umm Kulthūm, Lady Ruqayyah, and Lady Zaynab also passed away during his lifetime, and only Lady Fāṭimah remained. Umm Kulthūm and Ruqayyah bore no children. Lady Zaynab had a daughter who died without leaving offspring. Lady Fāṭimah bore al-Ḥasan, al-Ḥusayn, and Muḥassin; Muḥassin passed away during the Prophet’s lifetime, leaving only al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn.

All of al-Ḥasan’s children died despite his many marriages—tribes sought noble lineage through him—except for Zayd al-Ablaj and al-Ḥasan al-Muthannā. All of al-Ḥusayn’s children passed away except for ʿAlī Zayn al-ʿĀbidīn. Through this, God showed that He was able to eliminate all three lines entirely.

Yet from these few came the noble lineage that has remained until our time, east and west, bearing witness that the lineage of the Prophet ﷺ is preserved, that his rank is exalted, and that his historical reality is firmly established—there truly was one named Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh, in whom some believed and others disbelieved. This is divine support, not by the power of our master Muḥammad ﷺ nor by anyone else, but by God’s will—that his progeny should remain, truly granting him al-Kawthar, as they multiplied greatly.

Likewise, if we return again to the end of the verses:

“Indeed, your hater—he is the one cut off.”

The one who hates you, who harbors enmity toward you, is the one whose legacy is severed. We do not know who that “cut-off” person was; his mention has vanished. But here we read:

“And We have raised for you your remembrance.”
(Qur’an 94:4)

God elevated his remembrance upon the pulpits and in the call to prayer, echoing across the earth every day. He raised his mention so high that countless people were named Muḥammad, Aḥmad, Muṣṭafā, and by his other blessed names ﷺ—making them among the most common names on earth.

In summary:

“Every bond and lineage will be severed on the Day of Resurrection except my bond and my lineage.”

Peace and blessings be upon him and his family—because that bond is connected to the religion itself.

كل سبب ونسب مقطوع يوم القيامة إلا ما كان سبباً يوصلنا إلي الأسوة الحسنة بإتباعه ﷺ {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً } فكل سبب يوصلنا برسول الله ﷺ من طاعته وإقامة سنته في أنفسنا وشرعه في حياتنا فهو موصول يوم القيامة؛ وكل نسب موصول بنبي الله صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم ونسبه آية من آيات إثبات الدين ،وليست هي كل الآيات فالآيات كثيرة ولكن نسب رسول الله ﷺ قد صدَّق القرآن {إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ * فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ * إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ} فكثر نسله وقد أرانا الله أنه كان قادراً علي إهلاكهم حتي لا يبقي أحد ،

فمات الذكور من أبناءه في حياته؛ وماتت السيدة أم كلثوم والسيدة رقية والسيدة زينب في حياته ولم تبقي إلا السيدة فاطمة ؛ولم تنجب السيدة أم كلثوم والسيدة رقية ؛وأنجبت السيدة زينب بنتاً ماتت من غير أن تنجب، والسيدة فاطمة أنجبت الحسن والحسين ومحسَّن ؛فمات المحسَّن في حياته ولم يبقي إلا الحسن والحسين ،الحسن مات كل أبنائه وقد تزوج كثيرا وكانت القبائل تطلب النسب الشريف منه ،كل أبنائه ماتوا إلا زيد الأبلج والحسن المثني ،ومات كل أبناء الحسين إلا علي زين العابدين، ليرينا الله أنه كان قادراً أن يفني الثلاثة

ومن الثلاثة جاء النسل الشريف وبقي إلي يومنا هذا شرقاً وغربا يدلّون علي أن نسب النبي ﷺ محفوظ ؛وعلي أنه عالي المقام ؛وعلي أنه ثابتٌ حساً أن هناك من كان يسمي بمحمد بن عبدالله آمن به من آمن وكفر به من كفر ،تأييد رباني لا بيد سيدنا محمد ﷺ ولا بيد غيره أن يبقي نسله فيعطي له فعلاً الكوثر لأنهم قد تكاثروا كثيرا

وكذلك إذا ما رجعت مرة ثانية في آخر الآيات {إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ} مبغضك كارهك {هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ} الذي لا نسل له ولا نعرف من هذا الأبتر ذهب ذكره لكن هنا {وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ} فرفع الله ذكره علي المنابر وفي الأذان يطوف الأرض كل يوم ،وأعلي ذكره حتي تسمَّي الناس كثيراً بمحمد وأحمد ومصطفي وأسمائه ﷺ فكان ذلك أكثر عدد في الأرض ،علي كل حال “كل سبب ونسب مقطوع يوم القيامة إلا سببي ونسبي” صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم وذلك لأن ذلك متصل بالدين.
