aba bhi taar taar hai, to jism bhi figar hai
zameen bhi hai tapi hui, falak bhi shola baar hai

dilawari mein fard hai, bara hi sheir e mard hai
ke jiske dabdab’e se, dushmanon ka rung zard hai
habib e Mustafa(SAW) hai ye, mujaahid’e Khuda hai ye
jabhi to iske saamney, ye fauj gard bard hai

udhar sipaah’e Shaam hai, hazaar inteqaam hai
udhar haiN dushmanaan’e deeN, idhar faqat Imam hai
magar ajeeb shaan hai, ghazab ki aan baan hai
ke jis taraf uthi hai teigh, bas Khuda ka naam hai

yeh bilyaqeen Hussain (A.S.) hai,

Qualities of Imam Hussein (A.S) : CHARITY

Charity was one of the greatest qualities of the father of humanity, Imam Hasan (‘a), because His Eminence was the refuge of the poor and destitute and the support of everyone who was going through hard times and His Eminence, used to satisfy and please all those approached him for help.

Kamaluddin bin Talha says that it had become famous that His Eminence used to
welcome guests with great respect and gave to anyone who asked him anything. He used to be kind to his relatives, help those who appealed him for it, provided clothes to the needy, fed the hungry, forgive his debtors, helped the weak, be concerned for orphans and make needy ones needless. Whenever he received any funds he used to distribute them to the needy. These good qualities of kindness, charity and benevolence are such that only those having the perfect morals possess it…[1]

Historians state: “His Eminence, carried sacks full of bread and victuals and some money in the darkness of the night on his shoulders to homes of widows, orphans and destitute till it left scars on his shoulders.”

A huge quantity of wealth came to His Eminence and he did not leave his place before distributing all of it to the needy around him. Muawiyah came to know about this and he sent a huge quantity of gifts and souvenirs for him and also sent some personalities of Medina so that they may see what he does with those things. They reported about the Imam (‘a) as follows:

“But Husain began with orphans of those killed in Siffeen on the side of his father. Thus if something remained he used to feed the milk of the load bearing camels to the people…”

He sent an informant to see what the people do and they did as Muawiyah had expected. Then Muawiyah said: “I am the son of Hind, I know better about the Quraish.”[2]

Qualities of Imam Hussein (A.S) : FORBEARANCE

Forbearance was one of the highest quality of the father of the Martyrs and the most prominent characteristic of His Eminence. According to narrators he did not have any kind of unfavorable habits and he never misbehaved with any badly- behaved person. Rather he dealt with utmost goodness and pleasing manners. In this matter he used to tread the footsteps of his honorable grandfather His Eminence, the Messenger of Allah (s) whose lofty morals and virtues had won the hearts of all. His Eminence was distinguished by this quality and his fame spread wide to such an extent that even some of his slaves took undue advantage of these qualities, and they intentionally misbehaved with him so that they may be recompensed with goodness and favor!

Historians say: A slave of His Eminence, once committed a grave mistake which made him liable to punishment and His Eminence (‘a) ordered that he be punished. The slave pleaded with him saying: My Lord! The Almighty Allah says: “Those who swallow their anger.”

The Holy Imam (‘a) turned to him smiling and said, “Release him! I have swallowed my anger.”

The slave said at once, “And the forgivers of men.”

His Eminence said, “I have forgiven him.”

At that time the slave pleaded for more favor and said, “And Allah likes those who do good.”

His Eminence said, “You are freed for the sake of Allah.”

Then His Eminence ordered that a valuable gift be given to him so that he no longer remains dependant on others.[2]

These lofty manners were of the principles of the life of His Eminence, which did not separate from him throughout his life.
