A young man came to Imam al-Jawad (AS) and said:
“I’m not feeling well.
I’m tired of people—the slander, the backbiting, and so on.
What should I do? I’ve had enough.
I can hardly breathe in this land.”
Imam al-Jawad (AS) replied:
“Flee to Husayn (AS).”
Is this report authentic?
َّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ
