I will read to you the words of His Excellency [Husayn (pbuh)]’s exact farewell, which he stated before joining the battle.
He stated advised his household:
اِسْتَعِدُّوا لِلْبَلاءِ
Be prepared for calamity,
وَاعْلَمُوا
And know
اَنَّاللّه حاميكُمْ وَحافِظُكُمْ وَسَيُنْجِيُكُمْ مِنْ شَرّالاعْداءِ
God is your defender and protector, and He will save you from the evil of enemies,
وَيَجْعَلْ عاقِبَةَ اءَمْرِكُمْ اِلى خَيْرٍ
Also [God] makes the end of your affair to good,
وَيُعَذِّبُ عَدُوَّكُمْ
and will torment your enemy, with the types of torments!
وَيُعَوِّضَكُمْ عَنْ هذِهِ الْبَلِيَّةِ بَاءْنواعِ النِّعَمِ وَالْكَرامَةِ
He will compensate you for this misfortune, with various blessings and dignity.
فَلا تَشْكُوا، وَلا تَقُولُوا بِاءلْسِنَتِكُمْ،
[Be aware!] Don’t complain and don’t say the words,
ما يَنْقُصُ مِنْ قَدْرِكُمْ
which diminishes your worth.
(The Excellency liked for them to say:)
مارأیتُ اِلّا جَمیلاً!*
I have only seen beautiful… [I haven’t seen anything, but beauties!]
*This sentence would be stated afterward by Her Majesty Zaynab, in damned Yazīd’s palace

Yes, these messages have not only been for Imām Huṣayn (pbuh)’s household but also for us!
Protect the religion of God; be sure God will protect you.
The most important message which is for all of us is:
Preserve in your religion even in the worst conditions; God will definitely bless you.
It is specially used in this Era [The Last Era], as in Qurʾān, it reads:
[Surah Māʾidah, Verse 54]
وَ لا یَخافُونَ لَومَةَ لَآئم
…and shall not fear the censure of any censurer;
You go to heyat, are on fast, say prayers, but you don’t do [some important] actions?!
[Some people react,] “No we don’t!”
Well, see your Imām Zamān (mGehr) is satisfied with you or not!
