SAYINGS
* “The messenger of Allah (s.a.w.)
said, “Hussein is from me and I am from
Hussein. Allah loves whoever loves
Hussein. Hussein is a disciple
of the disciples.”
* “The prophet of Allah (S.a.w.)
said: “I am the master of the prophets,
who will come after me are twelve, the first
one of whom is Ali and the last
one is al-Mahdi, who will revolt against injustice.
* In short and expressive words
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.) depicts
this bloody tragedy. He says: “...Our
followers were killed in every city. Hands and legs were cut off at the
slightest
suspicion. Whoever was reported
to love us or had any contact with us would either be imprisoned of robbed
of his
property or his house destroyed.
Oppression increased in volume and became unduly harsh, till the time of
Ubaidullah
bin Ziyad, the murderer of Hussein
(a.s.)”
* In a letter Imam Hussein (a.s.)
sent to the people of Basra, he wrote:
“Allah, certainly, chose Muhammad
(s.a.w.) from among His creatures, honored him with His prophethood, and
chose him for His Message. The
He took his life, raising
him to His nearness, after he
had advised His servants and preached what he was
entrusted. We were his family,
his pious men, his trustees, his inheritors and the most
entitled among people to inherit
his status. The people monopolized that to themselves
and we assented, disagreeing
to discussion, and chose patience. We know that we are more entitled to
that
legitimate right than those
who seized it. I am sending my messenger to you with this letter. I am
calling you to the
Book of Allah and the sunnah
of His Prophet. For certainly
the sunnah was weakened and innovation was revived.
Should you listen to what I
tell you, you will be guided to the righteous path.”
* “...And I am not taking up
arms in order to make merry, or be ecstatic over what I possess. I am not
making
mischief, nor exercising oppression.
But I am ready to fight for the sole goal of seeking reform of the ummah
of my
grandfather, the Prophet of
Allah (s.a.w.). I want to enjoin good and forbid evil and guide the affairs
of the people as
my grandfather, and my father,
Ali Bin Abi Talib (a.s.), were doing...”
* “...By Allah, even if I go
into hiding in a hole of an insect, they flush me out, till they do with
me what they wanted.
They would abuse me the way
the Jews desecrated the sabbath.”
* “O Allah! It is You in Whom
I trust amid all grief. You are my hope amid all violence. you are my refuge
and
provision in everything that
happens to me. How many grievances that weaken the heart, leaving me with
no means
to handle them, during which
friend deserts me, and the enemy rejoices in it. I lay it before you and
complain of it to
You,
because of my desire in You.
You alone. You relieve me of it and remove it from me. You are the Master
of all
grace, the Possessor of
all goodness, and Ultimate Resort
of all desire.”
* “O people! Let us have the
Book of Allah and the Sunnah of my grandfather, the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.),
to
arbitrate between us.”
