Words of the Commander of the Believers and Imam Ĥusain عليه السلام about His Martyrdom
16 قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنِي كَرَّامٌ عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُيَسِّرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ كَتَبَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (ع) إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) مِنْ كَرْبَلَاءَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مِنَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ مَنْ قِبَلَهُ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَكَأَنَّ الدُّنْيَا لَمْ تَكُنْ وَ كَأنَّ الْآخِرَةَ لَمْ تَزَلْ وَ السَّلَامُ
16. My father and all of my scholars narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from ‘Ali ibn Ismā’īl ibn ‘Isā, and from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Amr (ibn Sa’īd Al-Zayyāt), from Kirām ‘Abdil Karīm ibn ‘Amr, from Maysar ibn ‘Abdil ‘Azīz, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir عليه السلام) said: Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام wrote a letter from Karbalā to Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali which read: In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful From Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali to Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali and to those with him from among the Banī Hāshim: It is as if this life never existed and the Hereafter has always existed. Wassalām.
