و قَالَ ٱلْإِمَامُ ٱلْحُسَيْنُ (عليه السلام): من دلائل علامات القبول: الجلوس إلى أهل العقول. ومن علامات أسباب الجهل الممارأة لغير أهل الكفر . ومن دلائل العالم انتقاده لحديثه وعلمه بحقائق فنون النظر.

Imam Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) said: Sitting with the intelligent is a sign of successfulness. Disputation with other than the disbelievers is a sign of ignorance. A sign of a scholar is his self-criticism of his sayings and his acquaintance with the various hypotheses

ٱلْإِمَامُ ٱلْحُسَيْنُ (عليه السلام)كتب إلى عبد الله بن العباس حين سيره عبد الله بن الزبير إلى اليمن: أما بعد بلغني أن ابن الزبير سيرك إلى الطائف فرفع الله لك بذلك ذكرا وحط به عنك وزرا وإنما يبتلى الصالحون. ولو لم توجر إلا فيما تحب لقل الاجر ، عزم الله لنا ولك بالصبر عند البلوى والشكر عند النعمى ولا أشمت بنا ولا بك عدوا حاسدا أبدا والسلام.

Imam Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) wrote the following missive to Abdullah bin Al-Abbas when Abdullah bin Az-Zubair banished him to Yemen So then, I have been informed that Abdullah bin Az-Zubbair banished you to Ta’if. God has so therefore raised your reputation and pardoned a sin for so. It is only the virtuous ones who suffer afflictions. If you are rewarded only for what you like, the reward then will be little. God may grant you and us steadfastness against afflictions and gratitude in graces. God may save you and us from the schadenfreude of any envious enemy. Peace be upon you.

وأتاه رجل فسأله فقال ٱلْإِمَامُ ٱلْحُسَيْنُ (عليه السلام): إن المسألة لا تصلح إلا في غرم فادح أو فقر مدقع أو حمالة مفظعة ، فقال الرجل: ما جئت إلا في إحديهن، فأمر له بمائة دينار.

وقال عنده رجل: إن المعروف إذا أسدي إلى غير أهله ضاع فقال الحسين عليه السلام: ليس كذلك ولكن تكون الصنيعة مثل وابل المطر تصيب البر والفاجر

و قَالَ ٱلْإِمَامُ ٱلْحُسَيْنُ (عليه السلام) في مسيره إلى كربلاء : إن هذه الدنيا قد تغيرت وتنكرت وأدبر معروفها، فلم يبق منها إلا صبابة كصبابة الاناء وخسيس عيش كالمرعى الوبيل، ألا ترون أن الحق لا يعمل به وأن الباطل لا يتناهى عنه، ليرغب المؤمن في لقاء الله محقا، فإني لا أرى الموت إلا سعادة ولا الحياة مع الظالمين إلا برما. إن الناس عبيد الدنيا والدين لعق على ألسنتهم يحوطونه ما درت معائشهم فإذا محصوا بالبلاء قل الديانون.

On his way to Karbala, Imam Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) said: This world has changed, snubbed, 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? This is sufficient for making the believers desire for meeting God rightfully. I consider death as happiness and life with the wrongdoers as boredom. People are certainly the slaves of this world. The religion is only a slaver on their tongues. They turn it wherever their livelihood demands. If they are examined by misfortunes, the religious will be very little.

قال الإمام الحسين (عليه السلام): إن قوماً عبدوا الله رغبةً، فتلك عبادة التجّار. وإن قوماً عبدوا الله رهبةً، فتلك عبادة العبيد. وإن قوماً عبدوا الله شكراً، فتلك عبادة الأحرار، وهي أفضل العبادة.

Imam Hussain (AS) said: Indeed, some people worship Allah out of desire (for reward); that is the worship of traders. And some worship Him out of fear (of punishment); that is the worship of slaves. But some worship Allah out of gratitude; that is the worship of the free, and it is the best form of worship.
