Everlasting words by Imam Hossein(A.S)
“O God, what did he find who lost you, and what did he lose who found
you?”
“Some people worship God to gain His gifts; this is the worship of the merchants. Some worship Him to avoid His punishment; this is the worship of the slaves. Some worship Him solely to show gratitude towards Him; this
is the worship of the free!”
“Death with dignity is better than life with humiliation.”
“God forbid that I should set my hand to the resignation of my right after a slavish manner. I have recourse to God from every tyrant that doth not believe in the day of account.”
“O son, beware of wronging one who does not have a supporter other than Allah.”
“Favors should be like the heavy rain that covers the pious as well as the sinful.”
On his way to Karbala:
“This world has changed and its good has turned tail. Nothing has remained from it except a thing that is as scanty as the leftover of a cup and a mean life that is like a noxious grazing. Have you not noticed that the right is ignored and the evil is not forbidden…People are certainly the slaves of this world; religion is but a slaver on their tongues. They turn it wherever their livelihood demands. If they are examined by misfortunes, the truly religious ones will be but a few.”
