Scenes of Paradise in the prison

It is narrated from Ali bin Saeed who said:
‘I entered to see Abul Hasan. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! In every matter they are intending to extinguish your Noor, and your derogation until they lodged you in this house, being a poor house.’

Then he gestured by his hand and said: ‘Look!’

‘Wherever we would be, for us are preparations, and we are not in a poor house.”
