When the matter of Hussain bin Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon them both, was intensified, those who were with him looked at him, and at sudden he was behind them, because whenever the matter intensified, their colors changed [1], their shoulder flanks shivered and their hearts fell, whereas Hussain, peace be upon him, and some of those who were with him of his special companions, their colors would shine, their limbs would quieten and their inner selves would calm. They said to each other: Look, he does not care about death! Then Hussain, peace be upon him, said: Patience, O sons of the generous, for death is but a bridge that makes you cross from suffering and harm to the wide gardens and everlasting bliss, for which of you would dislike to relocate from a prison to a castle? For your enemies, it is not but like the one who relocates from a castle to prison and torment. Indeed, my father told me of the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, that this world is the prison of the believer and the paradise of the disbeliever, and that death is the bridge of those to their Gardens and the bridge of those to their Hell. I have not lied, nor been negated.
