He shed the blood of innocents...

He shed the blood of innocents, and banished many persons to unknown regions; but see how Almighty Allah restored His Prophet and how the Divine Will worked to protect the life of Musa (Moses - a.s.) and destroy Pharaoh: And We revealed to the mother of Musa saying, "Give him suck; and if you fear for him, launch him on the river; and fear not, nor grieve; for We will return him to you and make him one of the Messengers." And took him up Pharaoh’s people, that he might be to them an enemy and a (cause of their) grief, (for) verily Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts were sinners.

●So We did restore him to his mother that her age might be refreshed and that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is (always) true, but most of them know not (28:7-13) Yes, Allah will protect His Proof (Hujjah) and will fulfil His promises and glad tidings be-cause His decision is based on its execution, al-though most people do not know it.

Would Allah wish to save the life of Prophet Musa (as.), who was only a messenger to a certain nation and tribe, and yield the Imam of the Age Imam-e-Zaman) into the hands of Mu’tamid and Mu’tadid? Would Allah protect the life of Musa (a.s.) while he was in the middle of the roaring waves of a river, and give no security to the Imam of the Age who was in the house of his father, Imam Hasan al-Askari (a.s.)?

Would the Sustaining Allah of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham - a.s.) (Whose story is mentioned in the Qur’an)23 protect Ibrahim (a.s.) in the middle of the flaming fire, but allow the Last Pearl of the Prophet’s progeny to be a victim of the lust and anger of the Abassid caliphs? Really, how do false thinkers and feeble-minded people judge? At dawn, on the middle day of Sha'ban in the year 255 A.H.

Imam Hasan al-’Askari (a.s) beheld the heavenly, shinning face of his son who was to fulfil all Divine promises and glad tidings.
