The Prophets (a.s.) and the Imams (a.s.) Were the Most Fearful
The Holy Qur’an praises the prophets in the following words:
“Surely they used to hasten, one with another, in deeds of goodness and to call upon Us, hoping and fearing; and they were humble before Us.”
(al-’Anbiya’ 21:90)
Regarding the Holy Ahl ul-Bayt (a.s.) the Divine words are:
“They fulfill vows and fear a day the evil of which shall be spreading far and wide.”
(Surah al-InsÄn 76:7)
The fear of the Prophets and the Holy Imams, specially that of ‘Ali (a.s.) is well-known. He used to lose consciousness due to the fear of Allah (S.w.T.). Imam Zayn ul-’AbidÄ«n (a.s.) expresses this fear most eloquently in the Duas of Sahifat’ul-Sajjadiya. If we are to record all such examples we shall be straying away from our aim. We hope that the examples given so far will be sufficient for the intelligent.
