Pearl of Wisdom

'When Husayn (AS) was born, Allah, most High, revealed to Gabriel (AS) that a boy had been born to Muhammad, and to descend to him, to congratulate him, and to tell him that indeed 'Ali's position with respect to you is as that of Aaron to Moses. So name him with the name of Aaron's son. So Gabriel (AS) descended, congratulated him on behalf of Allah, and then said, 'Verily Allah commands you to name him with the name of Aaron's son'. He [the Prophet] asked, 'And what was his name?' He replied, 'Shubayr.' He said, 'But my language is Arabic.' He said, 'So name him Husayn [i.e. its Arabic equivalent].'

Making Claims E-mail

In reality the claim belongs to the prophets, the Imams and the truthful, and a man who makes a claim improperly is like the accursed Iblis. He lays claim to devoutness while in reality he contends with his Lord and opposes His command.

Whoever makes such claims reveals his lie, and the liar is not trustworthy; whoever claims what is not lawful for him has the gates of affliction opened for him. Anyone who makes a claim will doubtless be asked for clear proof, upon which he is shown to be bankrupt and disgraced. The truthful person is not asked the reason for his actions; as 'Ali said, 'No one sees a truthful person without being in awe of him.'
