In his way back, that black man was murmuring, "My hand has been cut by the commander of the faithful believers, the leader of the pious, the chief of the white-forheaded honorables, the master of the religion, the head of the prophets' successors" As al-Hasan and al-Hussein heard these words, they conveyed them to their father, who summoned that black man to ask him about that praise. The black man said:
"Amir ul-Mu'minin, you have purified me. Your love has been mixed with my flesh and blood so composedly that it cannot depart my heart even if you cut me into pieces." 367
In the same field of perseverance on principles, Imam al-Hussein, his noble family members, and his decent companions elevated to the highest peak in spite of the criticality of their situation and the sufferance of the grossest disasters and terrors.
On the day of Ashura, 368 Imam al-Hussein, while was surrounded by thirty thousand warriors intending to humiliate and kill him, stood so bravely and shouted in their faces with that great reverberating cry, declaring his disdain and highness, through these everlasting words that are still rattling in the hearing of time and still adopted as a thriving constitution by the disdainful and free individuals:
"The bastard, son of the bastard, has forced me to choose one of two things - either the religion or ignominy. Ignominy is impossible for us. Allah, His Apostle, the (faithful) believers, chaste laps, jealous noses -individuals-, and noble souls -personalities- refuse for us to prefer the obedience to the mean to the death of the honorable."
