What is Faith?

English book, p. 141

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Leave justice to God Imam Zayn ul-Abidin (38,94 AH), the son of Imam Husain, was the only member of the latter’s family to survive the slaughter of Karbala. Informed that some individual had slandered him and made accusations against him, the Imam asked to be taken to see him. On entering, he greeted him and said: “If what you say about me be true, I pray for God’s forgiveness; and if it be false, may He forgive you.”
