ترجمه فارسی و انگلیسی علم و دانش امام حسین علیه السلام – بخشی از فصل پنجم کتاب نفس المهموم

His Knowledge

It should be borne in the mind that the knowledge of Ahlulbait (a.s) was inspired by Allah and they were in no need to gain knowledge (from others). And their present day knowledge waS similar to that in the past (without any change). They were in no need of analogy, ponderence or conjecture, while apprehending their intellect is far beyond the capacity of human beings. The one who tries to conceal their excellences is similar to the one attempting to veil the face of the sun. It should be noted that they examined the concealed in the present state. They grasped the verity of intellect in the solitude of worship and they were far more better than as perceived by their companions and friends. They would not pause (to think) in front of the common profiteer and those trying to test them, nor become upset or show slackness. They were prudent in their conditions and discourses and were unparalleled in their age. In distinction and honour, from the beginning until the end, they were in confirmity with one another. When they opened their mouth to speak, others would remain silent. When they spoke others would listen to them (with awe). Thus every strider could not reach them (their lofty position) nor their aims were fulfilled (to surpass them) and did not succeed in their policies. They possessed such qualities, which had been bestowed upon them by the Creator, and the Truthful (Lord) announced that He had removed doubts regarding them. He explicitly praised their grace and superiority until He made them independent of evidences and analogy. Thus they said, “We are the sons of Abdul Muttalib, the Master of men.”
