Grief of a believer due to Imam's separation
One of the duties of a believer is to be sorrowful in the
separation of Imam (a.s.). It is a sign of ones attachment to
Imam (a.s.). In the poetic collection of Imam (a.s.) the
following couplets are mentioned on the subject of 'true
friendship':
One of its signs is that it makes one seem like a sick
person due to the eagerness to meet his beloved. One of its
signs is that he is much attached to his beloved that he
dreads anything that will make him busy (in other things).
One of its proof is that he laughs among the people in
such a way that his heart is full of grief in like a mother
who has lost her grown up son.
This is one of the signs of the believers. In fact it is one
of the most praiseworthy quality and numerous ahadith
emphasize its significance. Here we quote one of such
sayings narrated from Imam Reza (a.s.). He says, "How
devastated would be the believing women and men when
the Imam will be hidden from them."
(Kamaluddin)
