One of then is greater than the other: (First is) The book of Allah is a rope extended from the sky to the earth, and (the second is) my family, the people of my house (Ahl Al-Bayt), and they shall not split until they meet me at the hawd (the Judgement day's basin), so look at how you deal with them after me."
