Now look forward to my son

When I said these holy words, her majesty Sayyidat Nisā’ Fatima (PBUH) embraced me tightly, consoled me, then stated:

Now look forward to my son; I will send him to you.

At that moment I woke up. I had looked forward to his Excellency’s gracious visit, while I was repeating those two holy words. The next night when I fell asleep, his majesty’s handsome face enlightened my dream, like a sun.

I told him, ‘O’ my dear! Why have’nt you let me visit your majesty, after that you made me fall in your love?’

The Excellency stated,  ‘This delay, was just because you were an unbeliever. Now that you have become a Muslim, I am going to visit you every night until the The Almighty God get us together in appearance and change this separation to an arrive.’

Since then, it wasn’t a night unless he has cured  the bitter pain of his absence with his sweet arrival.

Bushr ibn Sulaymān asked,  ‘How come you were among captives?’

She replied, ‘One-night, Imām Hassan Askarī (PBUH) informed me (in my dream), ‘Your grandfather will soon send an army to fight Muslims. And he will follow them behind. You are to hide among bondwomen and servants, in the clothes that they cannot identify you.

come behind your grandfather, and follow the path [that I am telling you].’

I did so. Yet, the forerunners/ guard of the Muslim army faced us, captured us… and now you can see I am here!

 

No one but you, has ever found out until now, that I am the Princess of Rome. And when the old man whom I was his share of the booty asked my name, I replied, ‘I am Narjis’.

He [also] reacted, ‘This name is for bondwomen!”

Bushr wondered, ‘How wonderful! You are a Europian, but you know Arabic well!’

[She] replied, ‘This is because of my grandfather’s so much affection to me. He would teach me good manners.

 

Anyhow, he had a female translator who knew both Latin and Arabic, to come there and teach me. She would come in the mornings and nights, so that I became fluent.

[Anyhow,] Bushr said, ‘I took him to Samarra and we went to Imām ˈAlī al- Naqī [Imām Hādī (pbuh)].

His Excellency asked the slave girl, ‘Tell me what happened, The Almighty and righteous God revealed the dignity of Islam religion, abjection1of the Christianity, and honor and magnanimity of Muḥammad (pbuh&h) and his Ahl al- Bayt (pbu th)?!

She replied, ‘O, [grand]son of The Messenger of God! How can I describe something, which you know better than me?!

 

There His Excellency stated, ‘I like to respect you now. [Select!] Which one is better to you, ten thousand Ashrafi, or giving you the good tiding to the everlasting honor?’

 

1-     Mind that, by Christianity in the preceding texts, it refers to the one which after prophet Jesus the Christ (pbuh) has been faked, unfortunately! Yet, prophet Jesus was and has been very respected by Islām and Muslim. And before Islām, Christianity was the best divine religion.
