Ali , the son of Hossein is the great man that God remembers him as
sayyid Al-Abedin and oliyai Al-Azin. Imam Sajad (p.b.u.h ) was a
great image of attainments and human exalted values , an ornament
for God's devoted and good servants and he was enamored of God's
pure worship and prostration for him. Also he had a hardworking
presence in Islam political and social scenes and he could do his
imamat responsibility well until his death moment. Imam zein al-Abedin
( p.b.u.h ) faced so many unpleasant happenings but he resisted in
front of the storm of events like a firm mountain. He communicated
all his mission in all unpleasant and hardships. He was such a man
who fought with government and idols with different affairs and in
different fronts and he never gave up.
In fact , Imam Hossein's soul was blew in his body and he was
Hossein's founder and trainer and was trained of Hosseiny Ashorai
culture.
After Imam Hossien's death , ziyad's son held a party and invited
Imam's families to this party. He looked at Imam Sajad ( Hazrat Ali ,
the son of Hossein ) and said : " what is your name ? " Imam said : I
am Ali , the son of Hossein, Obaydolah said : " hasn’t God killed Ali ,
the son of Hossein." Imam (p.b.u.h) said : " I had a brother who's name
was Ali and you killed him." Obaydolah said : " but God killed him." Imam
(p.b.u.h) said: " the God gets the lives at death time but for others
, who are alive , God will get their lives , when they are sleep."
Obaydolah got angry at Imam's response and said : " take him and cut his
head off." Hazrat zeinab embraced Imam (p.b.u.h) and said :
" O Ziyad's
son ! whatever you kill us , it's enough and I swear by God that I
don’t part with him. If you are going to kill him , kill me , too."
Obaydolah said :
" relationship between relatives is wonderful. This
woman likes to be killed with his brother's son ( nephew ). I guess
this young man will die because of this illness ; so leave him." Hazrat said :
" do you frighten me of death ? don’t you know that being
killed is our habit and we know generosity to be martyred in God's
way. "1
After Ashora , Imam Sajad (p.b.u.h) tried so much to make
people aware and disgrace Yazidian and Bani Omaye's oppressive
governors. He used all opportunities up for disclosing and he tried to
revive the sensational memory of Karbala and Imam Hossein's rising and
he used it as a powerful advertising weapon , against corrupt and
false government.
Imam Sajad (p.b.u.h) always remembered Imam
Hossein (p.b.u.h) and his good deeds even at that time when naming
Imam Hossein was forbidden and Bani Omaye's wises slandered him. We
read in ascending of history that Imam Sajad (p.b.u.h) was passing
Medina that heard , a person says : " I'm a
lonely man
, please have pity on me." Imam Sajad ( p.b.u.h ) noticed him and said : " whenever you
are supposed to die , do they leave your body on the ground ?! " lonely
man was surprised and said : " the God is great ! how they don’t bury my
body while I'm a Muslim and my body is in front of Muslim's eyes."
Imam Sajad (p.b.u.h) got upset and cried as he remembered his
innocent and lonely father and said : " what a suffering , O my father! it's deplorable that your body remained three days in the ground
without any shroud while you are the son of prophet's daughter."

Imam Sajad (p.b.u.h) trained humans in different aspects in his
leadership period and in this way , so many of his spiritual and
valuable compilation and blessing are remained.
From these prolific compilation , we can name Sahife sajadie and
rights thesis ( Resale Hoghoogh ).
It's told about Sahife Sajadie's dignity :
" it's lower than God's
word but it's upper than God's creatures."
Sahife sajadie's prayers
include exalted and meaningful contents which is so effective for whom
is that will to reform and refine himself. But rights thesis (Resale Hoghoogh) contains fifty personal and social rights that is mentioned
with a clear expression.
From his valuable speeches :
" everyone who wants honor without
relatives and wants glory and awe without kingship and kingdom or
likes to have money with being free of need. He has to leave the
abjectness of sin and put himself in honor of God's slavery and obedience."
Imam Sajad (p.b.u.h) became unconscious in the end moments of his
life and after some moments came to his sense and opened his eyes and
said : " special praise and thank is for God that fulfilled his
promise to us and put us earth's heir and for us as our place ,
wherever we wanted in paradise. The reward of good act owners. Is good
and he died at that breath."

O God ! favor us to use so much of Imam Sajad's maker and shining
life, and made for us , wherever we wanted in paradise.
