Quotes

I will lose a brother. Would that death had deprived me of life today! My mother Fatimah is dead, and my father Ali Ibn Abi Tālib, and my brother Hasan ibn Ali. O! You are the successor of those who have passed away and the guardian of those who remain!
- History of the Prophets and Kings, Vol. 19, p. 118
By my father and mother, O Abū 'Abdallāh (i.e., Husayn ibn Ali)! You have exposed yourself to death. May God accept my life for yours!
- History of the Prophets and Kings, Vol. 19, p. 118
O my grief! Your life will be violently wrenched from you and that is more wounding to my heart and harsher to my soul.
- History of the Prophets and Kings, Vol. 19, p. 118

By God! You are a liar! By God! You are too lowly born! Such a thing is not for you, nor for him. No, by God! God would only let you do that if you left our faith and professed belief in another religion. You, your father and your grand-father have been guided by the religion of God, the religion of my father, the religion of my brother and my grand-father. You, a commander who has authority, are vilifying unjustly and oppress with your authority.
- Addressed to Yazīd ibn Mu‘āwiya, quoted in History of the Prophets and Kings, Vol. 19, p. 171
