An infant sayyid’s fear of Allah Almighty

A four-year-old child hailing from the family of Allah’s Messenger, was once seen crying in the marketplace.

A person saw this and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there anything you need?”

The child began to cry even harder, and said, “My heart is overwhelmed by fear of the wrath of Allah and thoughts of punishment in Hellfire,” the child exclaimed.

The person compassionately reassured, “You are still very young. Why are you this scared? [i.e., be tranquil in the knowledge that children will not be punished.]”

The child became even more fearful and cried, “I’ve seen small pieces of firewood used to burn large chunks of wood. These small pieces burn quickly, and ensure a fire starts in no time. I fear lest I will be like firewood, used to burn people of the Hellfire like Abū Jahal and Abū Lahab!”

Dear Islamic brothers! Do you know who this four year old child was? This was none other than the shining star of the Ahl al-Bayt, Imam
