He said: "They remain in this state until the Riser (Al-Qā'im), may his glory be exalted, rises. When the Riser rises, they will gather between them and Al-Hussein until they come to Karbala. No heavenly or earthly believer remains but surrounds Al-Hussein, may his glory be exalted, until Allah the Exalted visits Al-Hussein, shakes his hand, and sits with him on the bed. O Mufaddal, by Allah, this is the elevation above which there is nothing, and below which there is nothing, and beyond which there is no goal for a seeker."1

"He placed his thumb in the palm of each one, and the man kept drinking one after the other." Glory be to Him whose knowledge the creatures are confused by, and He is the Exalted, the Powerful.

Who is this Allah who sits with Al-Hussein, shakes his hand, and sits with him on the bed, other than Our Master Amir Al-Mouminine, may his glory be exalted!

What do the ones who fall short need to know that Allah in their narrations is The Meaning, Our Master Amir Al-Mouminine, may his glory be exalted!

Our Master Al-Rida, may his glory be exalted, said: "An angel descended upon Al-Hussein, may his glory be exalted, when his companions complained to him of thirst. He said: 'Indeed, Allah the Exalted sends you greetings and says: Do you have a need?' Al-Hussein said: 'He is peace, and from my Lord is peace.' He said: 'My companions have complained to me of thirst, of which He is more knowledgeable than I am.' So Allah the Exalted revealed to the angel: 'Say to Al-Hussein: Draw a line for them with your finger behind your back and they will be quenched.' Al-Hussein drew a line with his index finger, and a river of water flowed, whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. He and his companions drank from it. The angel said: 'O son of the Messenger of Allah, do you permit me to drink from it, for it is exclusively for you, and it is {A sealed nectar whose seal is musk. And for that let the competitors compete}.' Al-Hussein said: 'If you wish to drink from it, then do so.'"2
