What Imam Ali Ibn Abu Talib (􀁸) Said on the Occasion of the
Burial of the Supreme Lady, Fatima (􀁸), While Addressing the Holy
Prophet (􀁨) at His Grave :
O Prophet of Allah (􀁫)! Peace be upon you from me and from
your daughter who has come to you and who has hastened to meet you. O
Prophet of Allah (􀁫), my patience about your chosen (daughter) has been
exhausted and my power of endurance has weakened, except that I have
ground for consolation in having endured the great hardship and heartrending
event of your separation. I laid you down in your grave when you
breathed your last (as your head was) between my neck and chest.
“Verily we are Allah’s and verily to Him shall we return” (Holy
Quran, 2: 156).
Now, the trust has been returned, and what had been given has
been taken back. As to my grief, it knows no bounds, and as to my nights,
they will remain sleepless till Allah chooses for me the house in which
you are now residing.
Certainly, your daughter will apprise you of the joining together
of your191 umma (people) for the aim of oppressing her. Ask her for the
details and get all the news. This has happened only a short period of time
had elapsed, yet your remembrance has already disappeared... My Salam
be to you both, the Salam of a grief-stricken one, ndighdf a disgusted nor
a hateful one. If I go away, it is not because I am weary (of you), and if I
stay, it is not due to lack of belief in what Allah has promised those who
endure.
