If one of the faithful gets sick, they will get sick too!

 

These honorable men[ Shiites’ imams( pbu th)] are so supervising and supportive that

If one of the faithful gets sick, they will get sick too!

Or if one of them gets sad, they will get sad too!

And if one of them gets pleased, they will do too; since, they are compatible with each other.

If one of them prays, they will say,” Amen”.

Even if s/he remains silent [doesn’t pray], the imams will still pray for her or him!

One of imam Ali( pbuh)’ s fellows” Romayyeh” had a fever wrote:

Once I had a fever, but I head to Friday prayers at a mosque in Kufa.

While praying, I got worse but I tolerated it till the end of pray.

It felt pain too.

Then, the imam ( pbuh) came to me and asked,  ‘What’s the matter? You were feeling pain!”

And he kept on, “There isn’t any faithful one who gets sick, then we won’t,

Or s/he gets despondent, then we won’t!

Whoever among the faithful prays, we will say, “Amen” ‘

After that, Romayyeh asked, “Will you do so for all the faithful?!”

His majesty replied, “Yes, no different s/he lives in east or west of the world!”
