" عن عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُحَمَّد بْنِ عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِى طَالِبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ: نَازَعْتُ عَليّا وَجَعْفَر بْنَ أَبِى طَالِبٍ فِى شَىْءٍ فَقُلْتُ: وَالله مَا أَنْتُمَا بِأَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ مَنِّى: إِنَّ قَرَابَتَنَا لَوَاحدةٌ، وَإنَّ أَبَانَا لَوَاحِدٌ، وَإنَّ أُمَّنَا لَوَاحِدَةٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ أَنَا أُحِبُّ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّى لَسْتُ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ أَسْأَلُكَ، إِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ نَفْسِى؟ فَقَالَ: يَا عَقِيلُ: والله إِنِّى لأُحِبُّكَ لِخَصْلَتَيْنِ: لِقَرَابَتِكَ [وَلِحُبِّ] أَبِى طَالِبٍ إِيَّاكَ، وَكَانَ أَحَبَّهُم إِلَى أَبِى طَالِبٍ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عَلِىُّ فَأَنْتَ مِنِّى بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لا نَبِىَّ بَعْدِى".

"From 'Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn 'Aqil ibn Abi Talib, from his father, from his grandfather: I disputed with 'Ali and Ja'far ibn Abi Talib over a matter. I said: By Allah, you are not more beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than I am. Indeed our kinship is one, our father is one, and our mother is one. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I love Usamah ibn Zayd. I said: I am not asking you about Usamah; I am asking you about myself. He said: O 'Aqil, by Allah, I love you for two qualities: for your kinship, and for Abu Talib's love for you, for he was the most beloved of them to Abu Talib. As for you, O 'Ali, you are to me as Harun was to Musa, except that there is no prophet after me."
