A man quoted on the authority of his father: “When Ameer al- Momineen (a.s) was struck, Imam Hassan (a.s) sent me to deliver a letter to Imam Hussein (a.s) in Madaen. When the Imam (a.s) read the letter he said
What a great tragedy. God's Prophet (a.s) was right when he said: “Whoever suffers a tragedy should remember my tragedies, since no creatures suffer from worse tragedies.”
عن رجل عن أبيه قال
لما أصيب أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) بعثني الحسن إلى الحسين (عليهما السلام) وهو بالمدائن، فلما قرأ الكتاب قال: يا لها من مصيبة ما أعظمها! مع أن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) قال: من أصيب منكم بمصيبة فليذكر مصابه بي، فإنه لن يصاب بمصيبة أعظم منها، وصدق صلى الله عليه وآله.
