Boreiheh wrote a few letters with this content to Motewakkel.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>These wrongful circularization of reports to Motewakkel who was already an enemy for Imam Hadi and his fathers\u00a0(PBUT)\u00a0made him send Yayha bin Harthamah with a letter to Imam Hadi\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0in which he wrote: \u201cI am looking forward to meeting you, I request you to come to me.\u201d He also wrote a letter to Boreiheh to make Imam understand what Motewakkel means.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Yahya bin Harthamah came to Madinah and gave the letter to Boreiheh; He and Boreiheh came to Imam Hadi\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0and delivered the letter. Imam\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0requested a three-day limit, and after three days he had his horses loaded with packs and started travelling to the Motewakkel establishment in Iraq. Some of the people and elites of Madinah accompanied Imam\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0including Boreiheh Abbasi. On the road, Boreiheh said to Imam\u00a0(PBUH): \u201cI know that you understand that it I who was behind your exile to Iraq. I swear that if you complain from me to Motewakkel or one of his close people, I will have your palm trees cut, and kill your friends, and have your stream and channels (of your lands) destroyed. And for sure what I say will be done.\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Imam Hadi\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0turned to Boreiheh and said: \u201cIndeed I will complain from you to God; when I complain from you to God, I never complain to anyone apart of Him.\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Boreiheh prostrated on the feet of Imam in lamentation. He shed tears and asked for forgiveness. Imam\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0said: \u201cI forgave you.\u201d And continued his way.<\/p><p>Accordingly, although Boreheh was guilty with an unforgivable injustice that lead to the Imam\u2019s\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0exile and separation from his family and friends, the exile that finally lead to his martyrdom, Imam forgave him, and treated the offense and threatening of Boreiheh with generosity and magnanimity. We can regard this behavior of Imam\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0an instance for the Quranic verse \u201c<strong>Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant<\/strong>.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>(The above is a selection taken from &#8220;Ithbat al-Wasilah&#8221;, by Ali Masoudi\u00a0<\/strong>(with minor additions)<strong>)<\/strong><\/p><p>Tags: <a href=\"https:\/\/roshd.com\/en\/tag\/friday-prayer\/\" class=\"tag-link\">Friday prayer<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/roshd.com\/en\/tag\/imam-ali-bin-muhammad-al-hadi\/\" class=\"tag-link\">Imam Ali bin Muhammad al-Hadi<\/a><\/p><hr \/><h1><strong><u>Footnote:<\/u><\/strong><\/h1><p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> The Holy Quran, (7:199)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boreiheh Abbasi falsely accused Imam Hadi (PBUH), causing Mutawakkel to exile him.
