Imam Hussein(A.S.) said to a man who backbit another before him: O you, stop backbiting, for it is the daily meal of the dogs of Hell.

Imam Hussein (A.S) : The true stingy is that who refrains from greeting.

Imam Hussein (A.S) Said: Whenever Allah seizes the power of somebody, He will surely free him from acts of obedience to Him, and whenever He seizes the ability of somebody, He will surely save his from the burdens.

Imam Hussein (A.S): Some people worshipped Allah for the purpose of gaining His gifts. This is the worship of the merchants. Some worshipped Him for the purpose of avoiding His punishment. This is the worship of the slaves. Some worshipped Him as showing gratitude to Him. This is the worship of the genuine ones. It is the best worship.

Imam Hussein (A.S) Sitting with the intelligent is a sign of successfulness. Disputation with other than the disbelievers is a sign of ignorance. A sign of a scholar is his self-criticism of his sayings and his acquaintance with the various hypotheses.

Imam Hussein (A.S) Beware of things for which you apologize. The true believer should not make mistakes and should not apologize. The hypocrite makes mistakes and apologizes everyday.

RAWZA OF HAZRAT ABBAS (A.S)

Imam Hussein (A.S) There are seventy advantages for the greeting. Sixty-nine are given to the one who greets first and one is given to the one who responds to the greeting.

Imam Hussein (A.S) I swear by God, I shall not surrender as a humiliated person, and shall not escape like slaves.

Death with dignity is better than life with humiliation. Imam Hussein (A.S) Death with dignity is better than life with humiliation.
