Imam al-Husayn as an Instance of the Application of the Verse of Cordiality in Sunni Tafsir Works

Author
Abstract
The Holy Quran asserts that it is binding for all Muslims to manifest their noblest sense of cordiality (mawaddah) to the Ahl al-Bayt. Sunni tafsir works also shed light on this point, hence a step toward coming up with proximity with Shi`is. The present paper deals with this point as indicated in Sunni tafsir works in that the Ahl al-Bayt consists of the Prophet Muhammad, Imam `Ali, Fatimah al-Zahra, Imam al-Hasan, and Imam al-Husayn.
