Pearl of Wisdom
I visited the Prophet (SAWA) when Ubayy ibn Ka'b was with him. The Prophet greeted me, saying, 'Welcome O Aba 'Abdillah, O the beauty of the heavens and the earths.' So Ubayy said, 'How is it possible, O Messenger of Allah, for anyone other than you to be the beauty of the heavens and the earths?' He said, ?O Ubayy I swear by Him who has rightfully sent me down as a messenger, certainly [the worth of] Husayn b. 'Ali is greater in the heavens than on the earth. And verily it is written [about him] on the right side of Allah's Throne: lamp of guidance, ark of salvation, an Imam, not weak, a [source of] dignity and pride, a landmark and a great treasure.'
Imam Hussain ibn Ali al-Shahid [as] Uyun Akbbar al-Rida (AS), v. 1, p. 59, no. 29

Sermon 38 About naming of doubt as such and disparagement of those in doubt
Doubt is named doubt because it resembles truth. As for lovers of Allah, their conviction serves them as light and the direction of the right path (itself) serves as their guide; while the enemies of Allah, in time of doubt call to misguidance in the darkness of doubt and their guide is blindness (of intelligence). One who fears death cannot escape it nor can one who fears for eternal life secure it.
