[Machine] I went out with Al-Hassan and a servant who had some henna on her nails. Suddenly, pangs of pain from a toothache struck him. He said, "Oh servant, bring the powdered medicine," so she poured water in it and threw the books in the water. None of them opened or reacted to it, and he did not look at it. So, I asked, "Oh Abu Muhammad, whose books are these?" He said, "They are from the people of Iraq, who do not return to the truth nor abstain from falsehood. I am not afraid of them for myself, but I fear them for that." And he pointed towards Al-Hussein."  

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ الْحَسَنِ وَجَارِيَةٌ تَحُتُّ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْحِنَّاءِ عَنْ أَظْفَارِهِ فَجَاءَتْهُ إِضْبارَةٌ مِنْ كُتُبٍ فَقَالَ يَا جَارِيَةُ هَاتِ الْمِخْضَبَ فَصَبَّ فِيهِ مَاءً وَأَلْقَى الْكُتُبَ فِي الْمَاءِ فَلَمْ يَفْتَحْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا وَلَمْ يَنْظُرْ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ مِمَّنْ هَذِهِ الْكُتُبُ؟ قَالَ «مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ مِنْ قَوْمٍ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى حَقٍّ وَلَا يُقْصِرُونَ عَنْ بَاطِلٍ أَمَا إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَخْشَاهُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِي ولَكِنِّي أَخْشَاهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ»
