The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa said, "Us a mah ra , after my daughter, F at imah ra , is my most beloved person". Us a mah ra himself said, "The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa would seat me and Hadrat H usain ra on his thighs and pray, "O All a h, I love these two, You also love them". 37 The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa entrusted the command of the army sent against the Romans, during his last illness, to the young Us a mah ra. 38 When Us a mah ra came to bid farewell to H u du r sa during his last illness, he told us, "When I met the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa , he put both his hands on me and then raised them. I know he was praying for me. " All a h be praised, how deeply this master loved the orphan child. Even in his illness which resulted in his death, he was praying for him as if he was entrusting him to God's protection. This was an expression of his love for Us a mah ra.
