My father and all of my scholars narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from ‘Ali ibn Ismā’īl ibn ‘Isā, and from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Amr (ibn Sa’īd Al-Zayyāt), from Kirām ‘Abdil Karīm ibn ‘Amr, from Maysar ibn ‘Abdil ‘Azīz, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said: Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) wrote a letter from Karbalā to Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali which read: In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful From Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali to Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali and to those with him from among the Banī Hāshim: It is as if this life never existed and the Hereafter has always existed.

Wassalām.
