Question:

Should one love the lovers of the people of the house (a.) as well?

Answer:

Al-Hasan Ibn Muhammad reported that Imam Al-Baqir (a.) said: “Love those who love the family of Muhammad (s.) even though they are wicked and fornicators, and hate those who hate the family of Muhammad (s.) even though they fast and pray a lot.” [Wasa’il-ush-Shi’ah of Al-Hurr Al-Amili, Volume 16 Page 169 Hadith 12]
