So I turned my eye, and God had unveiled my vision, and behold, those ascending horses, upon which were those riders; the horses were flying with them [in actual] flight, and the horses had wings; every wing blocked [the view] in my eye. Then I saw him transform into several forms, some of which I recognized and some of which I did not recognize. And behold, he was saying:
"This inverted, upside-down creation thought that they could overcome the Overcomer of overcomers and the Judge of the Day of Judgment. Far from it, far from it! How many a return after a return [it has], and a mistake after a mistake. Then the waiting from Me overtakes them, so it increases them in nothing but insolence and arrogance, until My appearance in the Return of Returns and the Return of Returns. Then I shall cast at them that which severs connections and painful punishment, and I am God, the Most High, the Great."
And from Muhammad ibn Hammam, from Ahmad ibn al-Husayn, from his father al-Husayn ibn Ali, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, upon us is his peace, from al-Mufaddal ibn Umar, from him is peace, he said: Al-Sadiq, may his might be mighty, said:
"When al-Husayn, may his might be mighty, and his companions were denied the water of the Euphrates, he called out among them: 'Is there anyone who is thirsty? Let him come.'
