SERMON 233
Spoken when Amir al-mu'minin was busy
in the funeral ablution (ghusl) of the Holy Prophet and shrouding him
May my father and my mother shed their lives for
you. O' Messenger of Allah! With your death the process of prophethood, revelation and
heavenly messages has stopped, which had not stopped at the death of others (prophets).
Your position with us (members of your family) is so special that your grief has become a
source of consolation (to us) as against the grief of all others; your grief is also
common so that all Muslims share it equally. If you had not ordered endurance and
prevented us from bewailing, we would have produced a store of tears and even then the
pain would not have subsided, and this grief would not have ended, and they would have
been too little of our grief for you. But this (death) is a matter that cannot be reversed
nor is it possible to repulse it. May my father and my mother die for you; do remember us
with Allah and take care of us.
