Allah says in Quran:
"Hold fast to the Rope of Allah, all of you together and do not separate" (Quran
3:103)"
The Rope of Allah which we should not separate from, are the Ahlul-Bayt. In
fact, some Sunni scholars narrated from Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (AS) saying:
"We are the Rope of Allah about whom Allah has said: 'Hold fast to the Rope of
Allah, all of you together and do not diverge (3:103)'"
Sunni references:
al-Sawa'iq al-Muhriqah, by Ibn Hajar Haythami , Ch. 11, section 1, p233
