Re: some questions regarding Abu Bakr thread

Reading all the posts in this thread my question to you still is the following:

So accept what I narrate to you and as to what I don’t, trouble me not regarding it.’ Then he said: ‘One day the Messenger of Allah , upon whom be Allah’s peace and benedictions, addressed us near a pond called Khumm between Makkah and Madinah. He praised God and extolled Him and preached and reminded (us). Then he said, “Lo, O people, I am only a human being and I am about to respond to the messenger of my Lord *. I am leaving behind two precious things (thaqalayn) among you. The first of the two is the Book of Allah. In it is guidance and light. So get hold of the Book of Allah and adhere to it.” Then he urged and motivated (us) regarding the Book of Allah . Then he said, “And my Ahl al¬Bayt (family). I urge you to remember God regarding my Ahl al¬Bayt. I urge you to remember God regarding my Ahl al¬Bayt. I urge you to remember God regarding my Ahl al¬Bayt”’” …

Would you regard all sons in law as near relatives of Prophet (saw)? or just one will suffice for you? (Just to remind you that one among them was a son in law twice)

Would you regard all his cousins as near relatives of Prophet (saw)? or just one will suffice for you?
