وَقَالَ (عليه السلام):
Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said:
مَوَدَّةُ الاْبَاءِ قَرَابَةٌ بَيْنَ الاْبْنَاءِ،
Mutual affection between fathers creates a relationship between the sons.
وَالْقَرَابَةُ إِلَى الْمَوَدَّةِ أَحْوَجُ مِنَ الْمَوَدَّةِ إِلَى الْقَرَابَةِ.
Relationship is more in need of affection than affection is of relationship.
