Let no respite elate you...

Let no respite elate you, for rushing does not speed it up, nor does it fear the loss of the opportunity for revenge. Your Lord is waiting in ambush for you. ”[^5] Imam al-Sajjad (‘a) said to her, “ That is enough, O aunt, for you are, Praise to Allah, a learned lady whom none taught, one who comprehends without being made to do so .”[^6] The wise lady discontinued her speech. The crowd which had been brainwashed by lies and by greed stood stunned.

Her statements caused many to wake up and the minds to listen to reason. Her speech had the greatest effect on people's hearts, so they realized the magnanimity of what they had committed; now they did not know what to do. From the wasi did she inherit wisdom Particularly hers in its beauty and oratory. Whenever she expounds you would believe From oratory she derives her treasures. Or like a sword in the hand of a valiant she may be With it he defended and won victory.

Or that she leads a whole regiment of hosts And drives from facts' hosts a crowd. Or in the Imamate's woods a lioness For her roaring even heads bow down. Or she is the tumultuous ocean whose waves Crushed one another in knowledge, might and dignity. Or from the Lord's Wrath lightning ensues From which Harb's clan could not escape. Or that Hayder on his steed wipes out The hosts of misguidance one after another. Or the summit of the pulpit embraced him, So for the Shari’a did he ignite a light.

Or in wisdom has the wise lady of Hashim shattered blindness greatly.[^7] Fatima, Daughter of Al-Husayn (‘a) delivers a Speech Fatima, al-Husayn's daughter,[^8] delivered a speech saying, “All Praise is due to Allah, as much as the number of the sands and of the stones, as much as the ‘Arsh weighs up to the ground.

I praise Him, believe in Him, and rely upon Him, and I testify that there is no god other than Allah, the One and Only God, there is no partner with Him, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and that his offspring have been slaughtered by the Euphrates river neither on account of blood revenge nor out of dispute over inheritance. Lord!
