النَّظَرُ إِلَى وَجْهِ عَلِيٍّ عِبَادَةٌ

English Translation:

Looking at the face of Ali is worship.

Explanation: Even looking at Imam Ali (as) with love was counted as worship, because he reminded people of Allah and of the Prophet (SAW). Love for the Ahlul Bayt (as) is itself a part of worship, not something separate from it.

Even looking at Imam Ali (as) with love was counted as worship, because he reminded people of Allah and of the Prophet (SAW).
