وَ قَالَ لِأَوْلَادِهِ إِذَا أُصِبْتُمْ بِمُصِيبَةٍ فَافْعَلُوا بِمِثْلِ مَا أَفْعَلُ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ فَاتَّبِعُوا أَثَرَ نَبِيِّكُمْ وَ لَا تُخَالِفُوهُ فَيُخَالِفَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ‏ وَ لَمَنْ صَبَرَ وَ غَفَرَ فَإِنَّ ذلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الْأُمُورِ And he -asws said to his -asws children: ‘Whenever you are afflicted with a calamity, then do similar to what (I -asws ) do, for I -asws have seen Rasool-Allah -saww doing like that, therefore follow the impacts of your Prophet -saww , and do not oppose him -saww , for Allah -azwj will be Opposed to you.

Allah -azwj the Exalted Says: And the one who is patient and forgives, surely that is from the matters requiring determination [42:43] ’. ثُمَّ قَالَ زَيْنُ الْعَابِدِينَ ع فَمَا زِلْتُ أَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع. Then Zayn Al-Abideen -asws said: ‘Thus, I -asws have not ceased to do the deeds of Amir Al-Momineen -asws ’’.

[4] وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ مُوسَى ع قَالَ يَا رَبِّ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا أَنَا عَمِلْتُهُ نِلْتُ بِهِ رِضَاكَ And it is reported that Musa -as said: ‘O Lord -azwj ! Point me -as upon a deed, when I -as were to do it, I -as would achieve Your -azwj Satisfaction with it’. فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ يَا ابْنَ عِمْرَانَ إِنَّ رِضَايَ فِي كُرْهِكَ وَ لَنْ تُطِيقَ ذَلِكَ Allah -azwj Revealed to him -as :“O son -as of Imran -as !

My -azwj Satisfaction is in your -as dislike, and you -as will never (be able to) endure that!” قَالَ فَخَرَّ مُوسَى ع سَاجِداً بَاكِياً فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ خَصَصْتَنِي بِالْكَلَامِ وَ لَمْ تُكَلِّمْ بَشَراً قَبْلِي وَ لَمْ تَدُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ أَنَالُ بِهِ رِضَاكَ He (the narrator) said, ‘Musa -as fell down in Sajdah, crying. He -as said: ‘O Lord -azwj !

You -azwj have Particularised me -as with the speech, and You -azwj have not Spoken to a mortal before me -as , and You -azwj did not point upon a deed I -as can achieve Your -azwj Satisfaction with it!’ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّ رِضَايَ فِي رِضَاكَ بِقَضَائِي.
