A Demonstration of Immense Patience

Imam
Abu al-Hasan ‘Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-‘Abidin (q.s.) was a person of immense patience. It is written, in Khazinat al-Aswfiyah,
that after the Battle of Karbala, he was marched to Damascus in chains, and in
the time of ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, he was arrested and chained. He was then forced to walk from Madina to
Syria in chains. With all this, he never
complained or said one word about his condition in the Court of Allah (s.w.t.).
He instead remained patient and made shukr,
thanking Allah (s.w.t.) on every
step. Imam Zayn al-‘Abidin’s (q.s.) most loyal student, Imam Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Muslim az-Zuhri (r.a.) could not bear to see the Imam in this condition, so he went to
‘Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, and had him released.
He then took him back to Madina.
