Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakkil (ra) narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. al-Husayn al-Sa`d Abadi narrated to us. He said: Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Khalid narrated to us from his father from Muhammad b. Sinan from al-Mufaddal b. `Umar from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad from his father from his grandfather (as). He said
Al-Husayn b. `Ali (as) was asked – it was said to him: How was your morning, O son of the Messenger of Allah? He said: I awoke with a Lord above me, the Fire before me, death seeking me, and the Judgment staring at me. I am dependant upon my deeds. I cannot find what I love, nor can I repel what I hate. The affairs are in the hand of one other than me – if He wills, He may punish me, and if He wills, He may pardon me. Which poor person is poorer than me?!
3 - حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا علي بن الحسين السعد آبادي، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن خالد، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن سنان، عن المفضل بن عمر، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن جده (عليهم السلام)، قال
سئل الحسين بن علي (عليهما السلام) فقيل له: كيف أصبحت، يا بن رسول الله؟ قال: أصبحت ولي رب فوقي، والنار أمامي، والموت يطلبني، والحساب محدق بي، وأنا مرتهن بعملي، لا أجد ما أحب، ولا أدفع ما أكره، والامور بيد غيري، فإن شاء عذبني، وإن شاء عفا عني، فأي فقير أفقر مني! (3)
