Commentary
Some other Ahādīth that are to follow amply prove that it is incumbent on all those who associate themselves with the faith of Islam and the laws of the Sharī‘ah and have feelings of love and reverence for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, to give due respect to the elderly and love to the young. Anyone who does not follow these principles, has no right to claim affinity, either with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ or his worthy Companions. Only a person adhering to these principles can claim affinity with them.
