Y: Yearning – Alphabet of Friendship

Yearning for your warmth, the wounded souls of the loving believers.
Encapsulating your grandeur within the soft curve of a rose.A scent of sweetness,
A light within the harrowing darkness.Oh grandson of the Love of Allah,
Oh grandson of the youthful chief of Paradise,
Illuminate our tainted hearts.
Guide us with your divine knowledge,
For we yearn for your tender love.

Imam Hasan al-Askari (peace be upon him):
“Oh my son…know that the hearts of those with sincerity and obedience toward Allah will be yearning for you like a bird yearning for its nest.”

Kamal al-Din wa Tamam al-Ni’ma; Ibn Babawayh, Muhammad ibn Ali, Volume 2, p. 448.



حسن بن علی العسکری عليهما السلام

يَا بُنَيَّ… و اعْلَمْ أَنَ قُلُوبَ أَهْلِ الطَّاعَةِ و الْإِخْلَاصِ نَزَعَ إِلَيْكَ مِثْلَ الطَّيْرِ إِلَى أَوْكَارِهَا
