الحديث 1

promises, and stood by all of your (asws) oaths to us. So you (asws) were a witness for the ones who were absent from us, and a successor of the People (asws) of the Household for us. And you (asws) were the strength of our weak ones, and the wealth of our poor ones, and a pillar for our great ones. It was your (asws) justice that brought us together in the matters, and accommodated us regarding the truth by your (asws) patience. You (asws) were, for us a familiarity if we saw you (asws), and a tranquillity whenever we mentioned you (asws). So which is the good deed, which you (asws) did not perform, and which is the righteous deeds which you (asws) did not act upon? And had it not been for the matter which we fear for you (asws) from it reaching you, which our efforts could change, and our strengths could defend you (asws) from it, we would be permitted to sacrifice ourselves for your (asws) defence, and repulse it from you (asws) by ourselves and our sons, we would put ourselves and our sons before you (asws). And we would make this choice, and reduce its danger from you (asws), and we would stand in our efforts in an attempt to defend you (asws) from your (asws) enemies. But He (azwj) is an Authority, which cannot be stopped, and a Strength which cannot decline, and a Lord (azwj) Who cannot be overcome. So if he (azwj) was to Bestow a Favour to us by Bestowing upon you (asws) good health, and be Merciful towards us by Keeping you (asws) alive, and be Compassionate to us by Relieving you (asws) of these difficulties from your (asws) situation to Keep you (asws) safe for us, and remain with us in front of us, we would narrate appreciation to Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic for that, and Magnify Him (azwj), and Mention Him (azwj) constantly, and distribute half of our wealth as charity, and free half of our slaves, and narrate to Him (azwj) with humbleness in our selves, and be submissive in all of our affairs. And when He (azwj) Takes you to the Gardens, and Makes to Flow for you (asws) that which is inevitable, so no one would be able to change that which He (azwj) has Ordained, nor repulse from you (asws) His (azwj) Favours, nor will our hearts be opposed to that for that which He (azwj) has Chosen for you (asws) of what is with Him (azwj) over what you (asws) used to be in. But, we would weep if this authority (government) were to return back to humiliation, and for the Religion and the world to be consumed and we do not see for you (asws) a successor we can take our complaints to, nor a similar government we can have hope in establishing it’.
