REACTION TO MISTREATMENT
One day Imam Ali Ibn al-Hussain as-Sajjad (A.S.) was sitting in the company of his followers
when a man, who was related to him, approached and began insulting the Imam
(A.S.). This man's name was al-Hassan Ibn al-Muthanna. Imam Ali (A.S.)
ignored the man and when he had left said to his companions:"You heard what
that man said to me, I would like you to come with me to hear my reply to
him."The companions of Imam
Ali (A.S.) then said:"We will come with
you, although we wanted you or us to say something (an equal response) to
him."The Imam (A.S.)
proceeded to the man's home reciting:"And those who
when they commit an indecency or do injustice to their souls remember Allah and
ask forgiveness for their faults; and who forgives the faults but Allah, and
(who) do not knowingly persist in what they have done." (3:135)His companions hearing
this concluded that the Imam (A.S.) would say only kind words to the man. The
Imam (A.S.) reached al-Hassan Ibn
al-Muthanna's house and said:"Tell him this is
Ali Ibn al-Hussain."
The man heard this and came out prepared for an encounter. He was sure that
Imam Sajjad (A.S.) came only to revenge his actions. When al-Hassan al-Muthanna
appeared. Imam Sajjad (A.S.) said:"My
Brother! You have come to me and have said something's. If you have said
that which truly lies in me, I seek forgiveness from Allah; and if you have
accused me of that which I am innocent, I ask Allah to forgive you!!"When the man heard the
words of the Imam (A.S.) he kissed his forehead and said:"Indeed
I accused you of that which you are innocent of. These words describe me."
