She called her and asked...

She called her and asked, ‘How is it that our tears have dried up and your tears have not?’ She said, ‘When I sutler I drink Sawiq (a kind of soup made of wheat and or barley).’ She -asws then ordered to prepare Sawiq and food. She -asws would drink and eat and give others to drink and eat and say, ‘We need to find energy to weep for Imam Al-Hussain -asws .

Our 4 th Imam -asws has said, once, a certain kind of (roasted) birds were given to Al-Kalbia lady -asws (the widow of Imam Hussain -asws ) to help her -asws in her mourning for Imam Al-Hussain -asws .’ When she saw them she asked: What are these for? They told her that they were a gift from so and so to help you -asws in mourning for Imam Al-Hussain -asws . She -asws said: ‘We are not in a wedding. What do we do with them?’ and Syeda -asws told her -asws servants to take them out of the house.

When they were taken out of the house they just disappeared as if they did not exist or flew between the Heavens and earth and afterwards no trace of them was found anywhere. [8] Our sixth Imam -asws says: Imam Hussain -asws Ibn Ali -asws said: I -asws am the Martyr of Tears. No Momin (believer) remembers me -asws without crying.

[9] Bequest of Imam Hussain -asws Ibn Ali Ibn Talib -asws (Before leaving Medina) Al-Husayn -asws called for ink and paper wrote this bequest for his -asws brother Muhammad – In the Name of Allah -azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. This is what is bequeathed by Al-Husayn -asws Bin Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws , to his -asws brother Muhammad, well known as Ibn Hanafiyya. Al-Husayn -asws testifies that there is no god except Allah -azwj Alone.

There is no associate for Him -azwj , and that Muhammad -saww is His -azwj servant and His -azwj Rasool -saww . He -saww came with the truth from the Presence of The Truth, and that the Paradise and the Fire are true, And the Hour is coming, there is no doubt in it, and that Allah will Resurrect the ones in the graves [22:7] .

And I -asws did not go out for evil, nor for priding, nor for mischief, nor for injustice, and rather I -asws am going out to seek the betterment regarding the community of my -asws grandfather -saww . I -asws want to enjoin with the goodness and forbid from the evil, and I -asws conduct with the conduct of my -asws grandfather -saww , and my -asws father Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws .
