Take vengeance upon those who oppressed us and support us against the wrongdoers.

This world has changed, snubbed, and its good has turned tail. Nothing has remained from it except a thing that is as scanty as the leftover of a cup and a mean life that is like a noxious grazing. Have you not noticed that the right is ignored and the evil is not forbidden? This is sufficient for making the believer’s desire for meeting Allah (s.w.t.) rightfully. I do not see death but as happiness and do not consider life with the wrongdoers but as boredom.

People are certainly slaves of this world. The Religion is only a slaver on their tongues. They turn it wherever their livelihood demands. If they are examined by misfortunes, the religious will be very little.[^233] By these words, Imam al-Husain (a.s.) informed his Household and companions about the coming ordeals they would face, and declared his readiness to fight against the wrongful party to the last spark of his life.

As they heard his words, those unmatched individuals who paved the way of freedom to humankind through their unparalleled situations spoke before their leader to show him their readiness to participate and continue the way whatever the sacrifices would be. The first companion to speak was Zuhayr ibn al-Qayn: “Son of Allah’s Messenger: We have understood your words. We may stop supporting you if we understand that this world will perpetuate for us for good...

etc.” Another hero, namely Burayr ibn Khudayr, said similar words. The other heroes declared their situations of perseverance on their principles and readiness to sacrifice their souls for their leader. The Imam (a.s.) thanked them for their feelings and blessed them.
