[Machine] "Jafar, I love you for the sake of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . And Ali said, I love you for the sake of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . And Zaid said, I love you for the sake of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . So they said, come with us to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , so that we may ask him. Usama bin Zaid said, they came seeking permission from him, and he said, let them in. They entered and said, who is the most beloved to you? He said, Fatima. They said, we ask you about the men. He said, as for you, Jafar, your appearance is like mine and your manners are like mine. You are from me and I am from you. And as for you, Ali, you are my brother and my successor, and I am from you and you are from me. And as for you, Zaid, you are my freed slave and my cousin, and I love you for the sake of Allah."

جَعْفَرٌ أَنَا أَحَبُّكُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ أَنَا أَحَبُّكُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِﷺ وَقَالَ زَيْدٌ أَنَا أَحَبُّكُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا انْطَلِقُوا بِنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى نَسْأَلَهُ فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَجَاءُوا يَسْتَأْذِنُونَهُ فَقَالَ اخْرُجْ فَانْظُرْ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا جَعْفَرٌ وَعَلِيٌّ وَزَيْدٌ مَا أَقُولُ أَبِي قَالَ ائْذَنْ لَهُمْ وَدَخَلُوا فَقَالُوا مَنْ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ فَاطِمَةُ قَالُوا نَسْأَلُكَ عَنِ الرِّجَالِ قَالَ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا جَعْفَرُ فَأَشْبَهَ خَلْقُكَ خَلْقِي وَأَشْبَهَ خُلُقِي خُلُقُكَ وَأَنْتَ مِنِّي وَشَجَرَتِي وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ فَخَتَنِي وَأَبُو وَلَدِي وَأَنَا مِنْكَ وَأَنْتَ مِنِّي وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا زَيْدُ فَمَوْلَايَ وَمِنِّي وَإِلَيَّ وَأَحَبُّ الْقَوْمِ إِلَيَّ

[Machine] Jafar said, "I love you all for the sake of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Ali said, "I love you all for the sake of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Zaid said, "I love you all for the sake of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." They said, "So come with us to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." I then went out and returned and said, "This is Jafar, Ali, and Zaid bin Harithah seeking permission." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Give them permission." So they entered and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have come to ask you, who do you love the most among people?" He said, "Fatimah." They asked, "We are asking you about men." He said, "As for you, O Jafar, you resemble my appearance and my manners. And as for you, O Ali, you are my brother and father to my children, and you are from me and I am from you. And as for you, O Zaid, you are my mawla (close friend or loyalist) and from me and I am from you, and you are the most beloved to me among people."
