Abdullah ibn al-Hassan’s Story

Imam told Abdullah that was suffering a severe pain because of her hand being cut:

“O my brother’s son! Wait! God will join you with your faithful and pure fathers, the

Prophet, Ali, Hamze, Jafar, and Hassan. “

If my fate delayed me and prevented me from helping you, if I wasn’t there to fight

with your enemies as your companion, I cry for you every day and night, I lament

your loss so bitterly till I die for the grief of the hardships you underwent.

Imam’s prayer after the martyrdom of Abdullah ibn al-Hassan: “O God! Withhold the

drops of rain from these people and deny them the blessings of your earth! O God! If

you give them a grace period to live, divide them into separate ununified groups.”
