(التفت الإمام الرضا لزيد يوما وهو يفتخر على غيره قائلا له ؛ يا زيد أغرك قول ناقلي الكوفة إن فاطمة أحصنت فرجها فحرم الله ذريتها على النار ،فلا والله إلا للحسن والحسين وولد بطنها خاصة ، أما أن يكون موسى بن جعفر يطيع الله ويصوم نهاره ، ويقيم ليله وتعصيه أنت، ثم تجيئان يوم القيامة سواء لا أنت أعز على الله وجل منه ؟ إن عليا بن الحسين كان يقول: لمحسننا كفلان من الأجر ولمسيئنا ضعفان من العذاب )كذا جاء في (بحار الأنوار64/65). Imam Ali Arridha(r) said to his brother Zayd Annar bin Imam Musa Alkadhim(r) who burnt the gardens of Banu Abbas after conquering Basra and he was taking pride in his descent(nasab). He said: O Zayd! You have been deceived by the words of a speaker of Kufah that since Fatimah(as) guarded her chastity, so Allah has forbidden her children on Fire. By Allah! That is for Imam Hasan(r) and Imam Husain(r) in particular and the children of her womb. How is it possible that Imam Musa Alkadhim(r) obeys Allah and fasts during his days and stands in worship during his nights and you disobey Allah, and when both of you are brought on day of rising of dead, would both of you be equal. No, are you nobler in the sight of Allah than Imam Musa Alkadhim(r). Imam Zayn AlAbidin(r) used to say: For those among us Ahlulbayt who are righteous have twice ajr(reward) and for those among us Ahlulbayt who are wrongdoers will have twice punishment.

Prophetic family and Sunni-Shia intrafaith
May Allah grant all husbands such true love of sleeplessness .
What Hazrat Ali(r) said on the occasion of the burial of Supreme lady Sayyidah Fatimah (r) while addressing the Holy Prophet at his grave.
O’ Prophet of Allah, peace be upon you from me and from your daughter who has come to you and who has hastened to meet you. O’ Prophet of Allah, my patience about your chosen (daughter) has been exhausted, and my power of endurance has weakened.Verily we are Allah’s and verily unto Him shall we return. (Qur’an 2:156) Now, the trust has been returned and what had been given has been taken back. As to my grief, it knows no bounds, and as to my nights. they will remain sleepless till Allah chooses for me the house in which you are now residing.
Quranic cosmology, Finnish mythology and the supposedly celestial sword Zulfiqar
I am an orthodox and orthoprax Muslim electrical engineer, a technology educator and a student of sacred texts of Tafsir, Hadith and Ahlulbayt which we consider to the universal Ark of Salvation in the global flood and firestorm of promiscuity, materialism and bloodshed. I was curious about Sirius and Orion because Quran mentions Sirius and the supposedly celestial sword of Ishmaelite Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him named Zulfiqar has etymological origins in Orion’s belt which is also called Kalivar’s sword in Finnish mythology.
