The Chapter of Condolences and Grief During Calamities, Visiting Graves, Lamentation and Mourning Gatherings
وَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا رَأَى جَنَازَةً قَالَ « اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي مِنَ اَلسَّوَادِ اَلْمُخْتَرَمِ.
When Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain عليه السلام, saw a funeral procession, He would say: Alhamdulillahi alladhi lam yaj‘alni mina as-sawadi al-mukhtaram 'Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى who did not make me from among those whose lives were abruptly taken'".
