#WithHussainInKarbala
In al-Risala al-Zahabiya (The Document of Gold), Imam Al-Reza has shared tips on living each month healthily.
As per Imam, September can cause melancholy. So one should eat young meat and healthy sweets to keep it in check.

(12/14) All bodies have been buried.
The man rode his horse to leave.
#BanuAsad asked him who are you?
He said I am #AliTheSonOfHussain#SonOfAli!
They rushed to embrace him, kiss him & offer him their condolences.
He then left & disappeared in the horizon.
(12/3) He looked at the men of #BanuAsad & asked,
"Is there any other body that remains out there?"
They said there is a body #lyingbytheriver.
He went next to the body & said,
"The world is worthless without you my dear uncle!"
He buried #AbalFadhl in his own separate grave.
(12/12) ...until Allah chooses for your family the place where you're now.
I send you my Salam O #SonOfMessengerOfAllah"
Then he sealed the grave & with his fingers engraved the following words on the #SoilOfGrave:
"This is the grave of #HussainSonOfAli who was killed thirsty"
(12/11) Then he put his cheek on the #neck of the body and said,
โBlessed is the #earth that contains your body.
As for the world, it is dark after you.
And as for the Hereafter, it is radiating with your light.
As for sorrow, it is eternal...
#WithHussainInKarbala
(12/10) Then he said,
O #BanuAsad, bring me a #strawmat.
They asked,
What do you want it for?
He said: to put the #severedorgans on it.
He then placed the body parts on the mat took the body by himself into the grave.
He also put the body of #infant#AliAsghar next to it.
(12/9) The rider then said,
"In the Name of #Allah,
by the Name of #Allah,
for the path of #Allah,
& on the way of the #MessengerofAllah.
This is what Allah and his messenger had promised.
Allah & His messenger are truthful.
There is no might or power except by #Allah.
(12/8) The man then went to the #trampledbody.
#BanuAsad came to help him, but he said to them: no, I will handle it.
He cried excessively & said: I have the help to bury it.
Then he put his hands under the body.

(12/6) Rider looked towards men of #BanuAsad & said, "Why are you standing by these bodies?"
They said, "We are just observing them."
He told them, "No, thatโs not why you're here."
They said, "O Arab man, weโll tell you why we came here. We came to bury the body of Hussain."
(12/5) They are observing the rider.
They saw him go to one of the bodies.
He came down from his horse and threw himself on the body.
He then #smelled & #kissed the body, and #cried excessively.
#WithHussainInKarbala
(12/4) They are trying to come up with a strategy to bury blessed bodies.
They noticed a #horserider, with his face covered, appear in the distant horizon.
They quickly retreated from the bodies of the martyrs fearing that the rider might be one of #IbnZiyaadโs spies.
(12/3) The men of #BaniAsad broke into tears upon seeing the bodies of martyrs.
They're trying to bury them, but are unable to decipher them.
A body is recognized by his #face but here the heads are #severed.
They said,
โHow can we bury them when we donโt know who they are.โ
(12/2) Their women saw #mutilatedbodies lying on the ground.
They commanded their men to go to Karbala & bury the bodies.
Their men were hesitant initially for fear of reprisal from #IbnZiyaad, but then they agreed.
(11/12) #OmarIbnSaad has gathered his men.
They prayed on the bodies of their dead ones and then buried them.
But the left the body of #ImamHussain and his companions are lying on the plains of Karbala.

#Imam asked her to farewell from camel.
She cried,

I swear by Allah, if given a choice, I would have stayed by your side
even if wild desert animals would eat my flesh!"
