كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عليه السلام) أَشْكُو جَفَاءَ أَهْلِ وَاسِطٍ وَ حَمْلَهُمْ عَلَيَّ وَ كَانَتْ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْعُثْمَانِيَّةِ تُؤْذِينِي فَوَقَّعَ بِخَطِّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَخَذَ مِيثَاقَ أَوْلِيَائِنَا عَلَى الصَّبْرِ فِي دَوْلَةِ الْبَاطِلِ فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَلَوْ قَدْ قَامَ سَيِّدُ الْخَلْقِ لَقَالُوا يا وَيْلَنا مَنْ بَعَثَنا مِنْ مَرْقَدِنا هذا ما وَعَدَ الرَّحْمنُ وَ صَدَقَ الْمُرْسَلُونَ.
Translation
<a id="_Toc492473475">H 14794</a> – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, together from Muhammad Bin Saalim Bin Abu Salma, from Al-Hassan Bin Shazaan Al-Wasity who said: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-i">I</span> wrote to Abu Al-Hassan</span> Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> complaining of my alienation from the people of ‘وَاسِطٍ’, and their burdening me, and they were from the Uthmaniyya group, hurting me’. So a reply came in his<sup>asws</sup> handwriting: ‘Surely Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Taken a Covenant from our<sup>asws</sup> friends for the patience during the government of the falsehood. So be patient for the Judgement of your Lord<sup>azwj</sup>. So when the chief of the creatures (Al-Qaim<sup>asws</sup>) makes a stand, they would say: <span class="ibTxt">“<a href="/#/books/quran:36#h52"><a href="/books/quran:36#h52">[36:52]</a></a> They shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up from our sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent Allah promised and the messengers told the truth”</span>.’
