Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “When the time came for my father to pass away, he hugged me and said: “O' my dear son! I advise you to do what my father advised me to do at the time of his death and what his father had advised likewise. My son! Be patient with the truth, even if it is bitter.”
قال الباقر (عليه السلام): لما حضرت أبي علي بن الحسين الوفاة (عليهما السلام) ضمني إلى صدره، ثم قال: أي بني! أوصيك بما أوصاني به أبي حين حضرته الوفاة وبما ذكر أن أباه (عليه السلام) أوصاه به، أي بني! اصبر على الحق وإن كان مرا.
