In the Holy Qur'an, Muslims are commanded to pay a wage for the blessings of guidance given to them by the Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). This issue is related to the manners of the previous prophets who did not ask for wages from their nations and considered their wages as the responsibility of God Almighty; it is different. Therefore, this research has been done on the subject of loving the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (pbuh), a follower of the path of servitude, in order to achieve the relationship of accepting the guardianship of Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (pbuh) and paying the reward of the Holy Prophet (pbuh). The content analysis method of library and documentary data has achieved the following results: Mood is a love whose effect appears in the actions of the lover. Loving along with following Imam Ali (pbuh) is paying the reward of the mission of the Messenger of God, and this is not a wage that the person of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) enjoys, but its effects and blessings go back to the loving person; And one of its most important effects is accepting the guardianship of Imam Ali (as) and expressing love to him; And the result of this friendship is moving in the path of servitude and nearness to God.
Extended Abstract

Introduction

Love and kindness to others is the advice of all divine religions. Islam, in particular, is the religion of love and mercy (Ᾱl ʻImrān: 31), and the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is a divine mercy for the worlds (al-Anbīyāʼ: 107). The role of love and kindness in fostering similarity, like-mindedness, companionship, and togetherness is very important, and people often look to their beloved figures as role models and examples.
Research Question(s)
In this article, an attempt has been made to analyze and examine the content of the verse of Mawaddah (al-Shūrā: 23) and then extract the achievements of acting on this verse, to examine what is the connection between the payment of the reward of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and the acceptance of the guardianship of the impeccable Imams (AS). Therefore, by applying various concepts and tools to understand the text's contents and the verse's functions, the results have been examined, and their findings have been used to answer the above question.

Literature Review

The investigation and research conducted show that various studies have been conducted on the verse of affection, such as a research article on the verse of affection, Ali Akbar Babaei, Quarterly Journal of Knowledge, No. 48, or the article on the love of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in the Book and Sunnah, Zahra Pourabdollah, Yas, pre-issue 4, and the article "The Reward of the Mission", Mahdi Ariyanfar, Journal of Quranic Research, Summer and Fall 2006 - issues 46 and 47, most of which approach is to introduce the word "Affection", examine the various aspects considered in understanding this verse, the position of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and examples of closeness, and The article is "Explanatory Analysis of the Verses of the Reward of the Prophethood," by Mohammad Reza Haji Ismaili, Journal of Interpretive Studies, Summer 2013, Year 4 - Issue 14. In this article, the apparent conflict between certain verses, which cite the prophets and the Holy Prophet, is resolved. These verses deny the claim of reward for prophethood on their part, considering it exclusive to God Almighty.

Results

The analysis leads to these conclusions: "Affection is a form of love that manifests in the actions of those who are cherished." Loving and following the impeccable Imams (AS) is the actual reward for the Messenger of God's mission; its benefits do not accrue to the Prophet (PBUH), but to the followers themselves. Key outcomes include openly expressing love, accepting the Imams' guardianship, and ultimately advancing on the path of servitude and closeness to God.

Conclusion

Accepting the guardianship of the impeccable Imams (AS) is one of the most important functions of acting on the verse of love and paying the reward of the Prophethood. In fact, the love of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) is not a reward that the Prophet (PBUH) benefits from, but rather Muslims themselves benefit from it; it is a guide to the path of God; and it shows that the basis of raising the issue of the reward of the Prophethood is itself aimed at continuing the goals of the Prophethood and therefore it is a cause of approaching God Almighty and a factor in the salvation of man-loving and fully following the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and drawing close to them is a command of God Almighty and leads to obedience and the attainment of God Almighty's pleasure. The remembrance of God is directly related to affection and following the Ahl al-Bayt (AS); therefore, the one who has affection for the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) is always in the remembrance of God through their remembrance and remembrance. This expression of love is a means for people to turn to them, and the impeccable Imams (AS) should be the scientific and practical reference for the people. Therefore, the affection that is supposed to be the reward of the mission is not something beyond the mission itself, the religious call, and its survival and durability. Therefore, the continuity of the line of prophethood is in accepting the guardianship and imamate of the impeccable Imams (AS).34
