Pearl of Wisdom

'Ishmael was a: messenger and a prophet. A group ruled over him and they peeled the skin off his face and skinned his head. A messenger [angel] came to him from the Lord of the worlds, and said to him, 'Your Lord greets you and says, 'I have seen what has been done to you.' He has ordered me to obey you, so command me with whatever you wish.' So, he said, 'I have an example before me in al-Husayn b. 'Ali (AS).'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]

Ibid. p. 78, no. 3
