The Imam -asws expressed more sadness then Ziyad said: I collected sins until I was afraid for my destruction. I then remembered your -asws love which gives me hope for my salvation and it brightened my dark condition. Abu Jafar -asws then said: ‘Is religion anything other than love? Allah -azwj has Said: He has made belief beloved to you and has beautified it in your hearts. (49:7), He -azwj has said: ‘ If you were to love Allah then follow me Allah will love you. (3:31).

He -azwj has said: ‘ they love those who migrate to you.’ (59:9). Once a man came to the Messenger of Allah -saww and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah -saww , I love people who perform Salat but I do not perform it, I love people who fast but I do not fast. The Messenger of Allah -saww said: ‘You are with those whom you love and to you belongs what you have earned.’ The Messenger of Allah -saww has said: What you are seeking to find is where you will arrive.

(Imam -asws said): It is certain that if a shocking thing may come from the sky every people will seek protection in their safe places and we -asws seek protection with our Holy Prophet -saww , and you will seek protection with us ‑asws .

While I was plastering the doors, and there were screams to have risen from the sides of Al-Kufa. I went to a servant who was with us and said, ‘What is the matter I see Al-Kufa to be clamouring?’ He said, ‘They are coming now with the head of the Kharijite who had come out against Yazeed -la ’. فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا الْخَارِجِيُّ فَقَالَ- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع I said, ‘Who is this Kharijite?’ He said, ‘Al-Husayn -asws Bin Ali -asws ’.
