Why do scholars not address the role of the Prophet's descendants, peace and blessings be upon him, from the lineage of Ali, Hassan, and Hussein, such as Ali al-Sajjad, Muhammad al-Baqir, and Ja'far al-Sadiq, in da'wah (Islamic proselytizing)? Do they have their own writings and schools of thought? And what are the books that refute those who accuse us of hating them?

Students of knowledge and the general public in this era must love the Household of the Prophet (Ahl al-Bayt) and study their news and biographies. Sunni scholars in past eras have thoroughly studied the news of Ahl al-Bayt. Al-Dhahabi, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Hibban, Ibn al-Jawzi, and others spoke about them. Furthermore, the scholars (Muhaddithun) transmitted many Hadith narrations from them, and some wrote about their virtues. Al-Bukhari, Muslim, and others included chapters on their merits. Some contemporary authors have written books that are considered among the best references on their lives, such as Dr. Ali Al-Sallabi.
