ʿAlī ibn Husain Zain al-ʿĀbidīn Zitate

ʿAlī ibn Husain Zain al-ʿĀbidīn war Sohn al-Husains und damit Urenkel des Propheten Mohammed. Seine Mutter war Schahr Banu, die eine Tochter des letzten Sassaniden-Herrschers Yazdegerd III. gewesen sein soll. Er sollte somit nicht nur ein Nachkomme des Propheten Mohammed, sondern auch gleichzeitig ein Prinz von Persien gewesen sein. Deshalb wurde er auch Ibn al-Chiyaratain / ابن الخيرتين / ‚von den zwei Besten‘ genannt. Gemeint ist damit seine „doppelt-noble“ Abstammung – in beiden Fällen durch die weibliche Linie.

Er wurde auch Imam Saddschad genannt, was so viel bedeutet, wie der sich niederwerfende, weil er stundenlang in seine Gebete vertieft war. Er war der 4. Imam der Schiiten. An der Schlacht von Kerbela, bei der sein Vater getötet wurde, nahm er wegen einer Erkrankung nicht teil. Anschließend führte er ein ruhiges Leben in Medina. Er weigerte sich, den Aufstand von Al-Muchtar zu unterstützen, und hielt sich auch aus anderen politisch-religiösen Streitigkeiten heraus, insbesondere aus der Revolte von Ibn Zubair nach dem Tod von Yazid I. Nach seinem Tod entbrannte zwischen zwei seiner Söhne, Muhammad und Zaid, ein Streit um seine Nachfolge als Imam. Beigesetzt ist er auf dem al-Baqi'-Friedhof in Medina, Saudi-Arabien. Seine Grabanlage wurde 1926 nach der saudischen Eroberung des Königreichs Hedschas von den Ichwān, fanatischen Anhängern der Wahhabiten, zerstört. Wikipedia

“No day was more difficult for Allah’s Messenger than the Day (Battle) of Uhud in which his uncle Hamza, the lion of Allah and the lion of His Messenger, was killed, and after it was the Day of Mu'tah in which his cousin Ja'far ibn Abi Talib was killed." Then he (Zayn al-Abidin) said: "There was no day like the Day of Husayn, when thirty thousand men advanced against him (while) they claimed that they belonged to this community, and that they (wanted) to seek proximity to Allah, the Great and Almighty, through (shedding) his blood. He (al-Husayn) reminded them of Allah, but they did not learn (from him) till they killed him out of (their) oppression and aggression".”
