Hadith 177
۞
16. My father and all of my scholars narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from ‘Ali ibn Ismā’īl ibn ‘Isā, and from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Amr (ibn Sa’īd Al-Zayyāt), from Kirām ‘Abdil Karīm ibn ‘Amr, from Maysar ibn ‘Abdil ‘Azīz, who said
Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said: Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) wrote a letter from Karbalā to Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali which read: In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful From Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali to Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali and to those with him from among the Banī Hāshim: It is as if this life never existed and the Hereafter has always existed. Wassalām.
16 قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنِي كَرَّامٌ عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُيَسِّرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ
كَتَبَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (ع) إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) مِنْ كَرْبَلَاءَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مِنَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ مَنْ قِبَلَهُ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَكَأَنَّ الدُّنْيَا لَمْ تَكُنْ وَ كَأنَّ الْآخِرَةَ لَمْ تَزَلْ وَ السَّلَامُ
