I have need for this...

I have need for this, and you -asws are in no need for it, for my sins are great, and my sin against the ‘killed one’ is also between me and him, and is not between me and his successor. Imam Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws said: ‘Are you submitting that your death is more beloved to you then the passing away of the Rewards of this introduction of yours?’ He said: ‘Yes, O son of the Messenger of Allah -saww ‘.

Imam Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws said to the successor of the murdered one: ‘O servant of Allah -saww ! Compare this sin of his to you, and his introduction for you. The killing of your father has prevented him from the pleasures of this world and prevented you to enjoy in this world. If you were to be patient on this you will be a friend of your father in Paradise, for this introduction has obligated on the eternal Paradise of Allah -azwj on you, and has saved you from eternal Punishment.

This favour of his on you is much, much more than the blood money to you. And, if you were to forgive him for this favour that he has extended to you, I -asws will narrate to you a Hadeeth from the virtues of the Messenger of Allah -saww which is better for both of you than this world and all that is in it.

And, if you do not excuse him until you take from him the blood money, I -asws will correct you, then I -asws will narrate the Hadeeth to other and not you and you will miss from that Hadeeth that which is better than the world and all that is in it, provided you take a lesson from it. He said: ‘O son of the Messenger of Allah -saww ! I forgive him without blood money, and without anything except for the Face of Allah -azwj , and your -asws intercession in His -azwj Order.

Narrate to us, O son of the Messenger of Allah -saww , the Hadeeth’. Imam Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws said: ‘When the Messenger of Allah -saww was Sent to the people with truth as a giver of good news and as a Warner, and called to Allah -azwj by His -azwj Permission, and was an illuminating lamp, people started coming in groups, and there were large numbers in discussion (of the new religion).

As for the one who intended to seek the truth, came to the Messenger of Allah -saww and witnessed the Signs and the Miracles that were manifested in front of him, accepted them and became one of the beloved of the creation of Allah -azwj and honoured by him -saww .
