Hadith.2428 - When Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) bid farewell to Abu Dharr (may Allah (swt) have mercy on him), he was accompanied by Imam Al-Hasan (as) and Imam Al-Husayn (as), Aqil ibn Abi Talib, Abdullah ibn Ja‘far, and Ammar ibn Yasir.
Amir al-Mu'minin (as) said: "Bid farewell to your brother, for the one departing must go, and the one accompanying must return." Then, each of them spoke individually.
Al-Husayn ibn Ali (as) said: "May Allah (swt) have mercy on you, O Abu Dharr. The people have only tested you with trials because you refused to compromise your religion for them, so they withheld from you their worldly gains. Tomorrow, how much in need will they be of what you withheld from them, and how needless will you be of what they withheld from you.
"
Abu Dharr (may Allah (swt) have mercy on him) replied: "May Allah (swt) have mercy on you, O members of this household. I have no attachment to this world except through you. Whenever I remember you, I remember your grandfather, the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family)."
