However, when he gestures with his face for prostration, he should uncover it wherever the mount takes him”.

Imam Abu Abdullah (as) said to me: “Is there anything in religion except love? Indeed, Allah, the Almighty, says: ‘Say, if you love Allah, then follow me, and Allah will love you and forgive you your sins, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.’” (Surah Al-Imran, 3:31)

Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: After Jabra`īl came down to the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) with the (news of the) killing of Ḥusain (a.s.), the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) held the hand of ‘Ali (a.s.) and spoke to him privately for most of that day until they were both overcome with tears. While they were still together, Jabra`īl – or a messenger (an angel) from the Lord of the Worlds – came down to them and said, “Your Lord conveys His Salām to both of you and says, ‘It is My Will that you should remain patient.” Imam (a.s.) continued, “Therefore, they (the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) and the Commander of the Believers (a.s.)) remained patient.” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chains: A) Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Walīd, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Muḥammad ibn Sinān, from Sa’īd ibn Yasār, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.).
