١٦ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنِي كَرَّامٌ عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُيَسِّرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ كَتَبَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (ع) إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) مِنْ كَرْبَلَاءَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مِنَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ مَنْ قِبَلَهُ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَكَأَنَّ الدُّنْيَا لَمْ تَكُنْ وَ كَأنَّ الْآخِرَةَ لَمْ تَزَلْ وَ السَّلَامُ
16. My father and all of my scholars narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from ‘Ali ibn Ismā’ǐl ibn ‘Isā, and from Muĥammad ibn Ĥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Muĥammad ibn ‘Amr (ibn Sa’ǐd Al-Zayyāt), from Kirām ‘Abdil Karǐm ibn ‘Amr, from Maysar ibn ‘Abdil ‘Azǐz, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir ) said: Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali  wrote a letter from Karbalā to Muĥammad ibn ‘Ali which read: In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful From Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali to Muĥammad ibn ‘Ali and to those with him from among the Banǐ Hāshim: It is as if this life never existed and the Hereafter has always existed. Wassalām.
