According to one interpretation, the meaning of the verse:

Say: I ask of you no recompense save love of my close kin..(Q 42-23)

is that "the Most Noble Prophet (PBUH) wants no reward for carrying out the duty of prophethood; he wants only love for his family."

If it is said : "According to this meaning, it seems there is an advantage to be gained from a family relationship. Whereas, according to the meaning of:

The most honoured of you in the sight of God is the most righteous of you..(Q 49-13)

it is not in regard to family relationships that prophethood functions, but in regard to closeness to God,"

T h e A n s w e r : With his vision which penetrated the Unseen, the Most Noble Prophet (PBUH) saw that his Family would become like a light-giving tree within the world of Islam.
